Abstract
This research demonstrates that vaccinating children and adolescents against COVID-19 has reduced the risk of MIS-C during the study period. • Most of the published literature regarding vaccine effectiveness is based on case-control studies, which are limited due to small sample sizes and the inability to fully estimate the risk of MIS-C among vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adolescents. • The known underestimation of COVID-19 diagnosis among children and adolescents is challenging, as they often have few to no symptoms. • Significant risk difference was found in favor of the vaccinated group, even after including extreme assumptions regarding the underdiagnosed COVID-19 rate. • During this nationwide study period, it was found that vaccinating children and adolescents reduced the risk of MIS-C and its complications.
