Great article, would you please further explain this point:
"Assume child A got the first dose on day 10, the second dose on day 34, and never got infected during the trial (77 days total). This would count as 10, 30, and 37 days at risk for the unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, and fully vaccinated groups, respectively".
Thanks! It's a bit confusing but essentially they divided the groups like this:
Unvaccinated = never had any dose
partially vaccinated = 1 day following first dose through 6 days following second dose
fully vaccinated = >6 days following second dose.
The "Child A" example was meant to demonstrate how a single child that was vaccinated during the course of the study would be categorized in all three groups, with the "person days at risk" varying depending on the timing of those vaccinations. It's not the most crucial point to understand, I just tried to explain how the risk was assessed in the trial.
