Bold values indicate significant odds ratios after adjustment at the 5% level

a Sample sizes for proportions and simple logistic regression models do not always add up to the total n = 9,509 due to missing values in predictor and outcome variables

b Sample size for the multiple logistic regression is n = 8,905

c Wilson score interval for binomial proportions

d 95% confidence intervals for odds ratios (OR) were adjusted using the Tukey–Kramer method for multiple comparisons

e Covariates to control for provincial differences in vaccination rollout plans and vaccination eligibility

E Estimate is of marginal quality, use with caution

F Estimate is suppressed due to data quality concerns
