    Number of participants with worsening signs or symptoms of primary infection or development of new infection.

    Time frame: Week 6

  2. Number of participants with development of breakthrough infection - Month 6

    Number of participants with worsening signs or symptoms of primary infection or development of new infection.

    Time frame: Month 6

  3. Number of participants with hospital readmission - week 6
