SARS-CoV-2 risk factors among symptomatic vaccinated adults attending community testing locations in the Netherlands from June 2021 till February 2022
This study was conducted in a period with a varying degree of prevention measures. Among vaccinated individuals, we identified several SARS-CoV-2 specific risk factors and SARS-CoV-2 risk factors that could be more general for respiratory infections. For SARS-CoV-2 transmission more attention could be given to visiting busy outdoor locations, having a household size that consists of more than 4 persons, being a healthcare worker, and living with children aged 0-12. Risk factors varied with different phases in the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of repeated assessment of risk factors.
