*N = 263 persons who were fully vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech (https://www.pfizer.com), Moderna (https://modernatx.com), or Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (https://jnj.com), did not additionally receive an international vaccine, and did not have a missing Ct value or symptom status. ETR >1 is associated with prolonged RAT positivity duration compared to the reference group. An ETR <1 is associated with a decreased RAT positivity duration. Ct, cycle threshold; Dx, diagnosis; ETR, event time ratio; mRNA, either of the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna; NA, not applicable; RAT, rapid antigen test.
