  1. The numerator is the number of observations for which “any” was reported and the denominator is the total number of observations in that analysis. For own vaccination, 23.5% of observations were reported as any past 7-day, outside of the household, physical contacts with under 18 year-olds. All contact variables relate to individuals outside the household. Denominators for work variables restricted to those reporting working or in education. Tables showing how these percentages were derived are provided in the supplementary materials.
