vuv.py is for calculating vaccine effectiveness on mortality between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated.

vuc.py is for calculating vaccine effectiveness on infection between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated.

vuc3.py is for calculating vaccine effectiveness on infection and death between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated by vaccine product.

vuc4.py is for calculating bivalent vaccine effectiveness on infection between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated by age group.

set operations

vaers.py shows a good example of intersection operation.

set(A).intersection(B)

set(A).symmetric_difference(B)

set(A).difference(B)

set(A).union(B)

 set([1,2,5]).symmetric_difference([1,2,9,4,8,9])
 {4, 5, 8, 9}
 
 set([1,2,5]).difference([1,2,9,4,8,9])
 {5}
 
 set([1,2,5]).intersection([1,2,9,4,8,9])
 {1, 2}
 
 set([1,2,5]).union([1,2,9,4,8,9])
 {1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9}

The following figure shows what is intersection operation.
