Risk of COVID-related syndrome lower in kids after breakthrough OmicronThe risk of COVID-19–related multisystem inflammatory system in children (MIS-C) was significantly lower among vaccinated versus unvaccinated Danish children after infection with the Omicron variant rather than with previous strains, according to a research letter published yesterday in JAMA Pediatrics.A team led by Aarhus University researchers used Danish COVID-19 surveillance registries to prospectively study 0- to 17-year-old patients diagnosed as having MIS-C at all of the country's 18 Danish pediatric healthcare units from Jan 1 to Mar 15, 2022.

They were infected from Jan 1 to Feb 1, 2022, when Omicron made up 95% of variants in that country.Of the 583,618 children and adolescents estimated to have had COVID-19, 267,086 were vaccinated.

Among those with COVID, 1 vaccinated and 11 unvaccinated MIS-C patients were identified.Amid Omicron, the risk of MIS-C was 89% lower in vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients (risk ratio [RR], 0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01 to 0.83).

The risk was 88% lower in unvaccinated patients during Omicron than during the Delta wave (RR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.06 to 0.23) and 86% lower than during the wild-type virus wave (RR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.29).
