We compare the risks of hospitalization (n=1121) and mortality (n=138) in a cohort of 17,881 breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections for the Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen vaccines for those with and without SARS-CoV-2 infections prior to vaccination. Cox regression analysis results in a lower hazard ratio for breakthroughs receiving the Moderna vaccine, but a significantly higher hazard ratio for breakthroughs receiving the Janssen vaccine, as compared to breakthroughs who got the Pfizer vaccine. Further, the risk of hospitalization (P<0.001) and death (P<0.05) were lower among breakthroughs who had a SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to vaccination, independent of age, sex, comorbidities, and vaccine type. NoteWe do not study the role of natural immunity in SARS-CoV-2 infections, as our cohort does not contain unvaccinated individuals.
