To study the association between routine childhood vaccination and the severity of COVID-19 among children.
A cross-sectional study was undertaken among 141 children (aged ≤15 years), tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
COVID-19 severity (combined moderate and severe) was significantly more in males (14.5%) than females (3.8%), and in those who did not receive first and second dose of MR vaccine (57.1%, and 40%, respectively) than who received (6.3%, and 6.1%, respectively). Disease severity was more in partially immunized children (16.7%) as compared to fully immunized children (7.0%).
Children who did not receive both doses of MR vaccine had a severe infection when compared to those who were vaccinated.
研究儿童常规接种疫苗与 COVID-19 严重程度之间的关联。
对 141 名(年龄≤15 岁)检测出 SARS-CoV-2 感染阳性的儿童进行横断面研究。
与女性(3.8%)相比,男性(14.5%)COVID-19 严重程度(包括中度和重度)更严重;与接种第一和第二剂 MR 疫苗的儿童(分别为 57.1%和 40%)相比,未接种的儿童(分别为 6.3%和 6.1%)严重程度更高。与完全免疫接种的儿童(7.0%)相比,部分免疫接种的儿童(16.7%)疾病严重程度更高。
与接种疫苗的儿童相比,未接种 MR 疫苗两剂的儿童感染严重。
