The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine provided less protection against the Omicron variant than the Delta strain in children but did protect against severe illness from both variants.
Researchers found that vaccination also reduced COVID-19 associated hospitalizations in adolescents aged 12-18 and protected strongly against severe illness, according to the study that was co-led by Dr. Adrienne Randolph, M.D., M.Sc, at Boston Children’s Hospital along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
