Data are numbers (%) or means (SD). aAll nine severe patients were infected at the early stage of the epidemic and were home-isolated because of the limited supply of medical resources, including hospital beds. These patients moved to Fangcang shelter hospitals starting on February 2020. bSince April 2021, the Chinese government has encouraged those who have recovered from COVID-19 to take SARS-CoV-2 vaccines; therefore, all those who recovered in this study received SARS-CoV-2 vaccines after their infection.
