Both participants who only received their initial series of COVID-19 vaccination and those who received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose were included.

Data was collected from November 2021 to March 2022. Participants were excluded from analysis if they lacked at least one positive culture or did not culture convert during their study involvement. Scatter plots comparing time to culture conversion to time from initial vaccine series were created. We calculated spearman correlation coefficients to determine the relationship between time to culture conversion and time from last vaccination for all participants, those who completed the initial vaccine series (unboosted), and those who were boosted.</jats:p> <jats:p>Scatterplot illustrating relationship between time since receiving a booster COVID-19 vaccine dose and time to culture conversion among boosted participants.

There was no association between time to culture conversion and time since last dose of a COVID-19 vaccination (R= -0.13, p= .34). When stratified by vaccination status, there was no association between time to culture conversion and time since initial COVID-19 vaccine series (R= -0.25, p= .21, n=26) or time since COVID-19 booster vaccination (R= -0.24, p= .22, n=28).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>Our results show no significant relationship between time to culture conversion and time since most recent dose of COVID-19 vaccination in an initially culture positive, young, University-based cohort. More work needs to be done to understand the impact of symptom severity, disease burden, SARS-CoV-2 variants, and COVID-19 vaccine status on duration of transmissible SARS-CoV-2 infection.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Disclosures</jats:title> <jats:p>Catherine M.
