*Only 1 boosted person had received an initial dose of Janssen vaccine, so for statistical reasons, this person was pooled with the unboosted Janssen recipients. When fit separately, the odds ratio for unboosted Janssen recipients was 1.9 (0.8–4.9) with a parameter p value of 0.20, and the parameter estimate for the single boosted Janssen individual was unreliable. Janssen vaccine, Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (https://www.jnj.com); Pfizer vaccine, Pfizer-BioNTech (https://www.pfizer.com); Moderna vaccine, Moderna (https://www.modernatx.com).
