  1. VEs were from univariate conditional logistic regression and were unadjusted for baseline characteristics for the exact matching process. The effectiveness of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccines was estimated in the whole population and in subgroups defined by strata of age, gender, and residential district. The effectiveness of each vaccination course was estimated in the whole population
  2. aThe proportion of vaccinated individuals was calculated as the number of vaccinated people divided by the total number of people in the corresponding category
  3. bVaccine effectiveness for the combined age group 3–39 years
  4. cVaccine effectiveness for the combined age group 18–59 years
  5. dVaccine effectiveness in this cell had an infinite confidence interval
