Surveillance for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in U.S. children aged 5-11 years who received Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, November 2021-March 2022.
Journal of Infectious Diseases 2023 Februrary 24
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection; in the U.S., reporting of MIS-C after COVID-19 vaccination is required for vaccine safety monitoring. Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was authorized for children aged 5-11 years on October 29, 2021. Covering a period when ∼7 million children received vaccine, surveillance for MIS-C ≤90 days post-vaccination using passive systems identified 58 children with MIS-C and laboratory evidence of past/recent SARS-CoV-2 infection, and 4 without evidence. During a period with extensive SARS-CoV-2 circulation, MIS-C illness in children after COVID-19 vaccination who lacked evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was rare (<1 per million vaccinated children).
