CI: confidence interval; NC: not calculable; NP: not presented due to the small sample size; OR: odds ratio.

a Groups were compared using Fisher’s exact test or Mann–Whitney test, as appropriate.

b OR (and their 95% CI) were estimated separately using simple logistic regression analysis.

c Unless specified otherwise in certain cells of the table.

d Information on sex was collected as a binary variable. ORs for male participants were not calculable.

e Age was handled as a continuous variable and OR represents the change in odds by each one-year increase.

f References for the ORs in this section were the absence of the characteristic in question (i.e. no smallpox immunisation, no immunosuppression, and no HIV).

g Including three people living with HIV and one person receiving a TNFα inhibitor.

h Including 10 people living with HIV (1/10 with concomitant haematological malignancy).

I Time from exposure to vaccination was handled as a continuous variable and OR represents the change in odds by each one-day increase.

p values < 0.2 are in bold type.
