a

Infants born to women who completed their 2-dose or 3-dose vaccination series during the second or third trimesters of pregnancies were compared with infants born to unvaccinated women. Hazard ratios were obtained from a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Time was included as an interaction term for the 2 periods in the unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Number of infants included: 21 643.

b

Adjusted for maternal age, maternal parity, maternal country of birth, maternal educational attainment as of 2019, and county of residence.
