  1. RR relative risk, CI confidence interval
  2. a Both cohorts were included in this analysis. Analysis limited to children born in Quebec. Multivariable analysis exclude children unvaccinated since birth (n = 43 for 1-year cohort and n = 42 for 2-year cohort)
  3. bFactors selected with robust Poisson multivariable regression with backward selection. Mother’s language, mother’s country of origin and the birth attendant were excluded from this analysis as they were not collected in 2006 and 2008 (more than 10% of missing). For each visit, results are presented only for covariates significant in the models
