A study published in JAMA Network Open on Jan. 3 found that children and adolescents with a history of multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), a rare and potentially fatal immune reaction to COVID-19 infection, reported no serious complications after receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.
“We are very reassured by the results,” said Dr. Matthew Elias, an attending cardiologist in the Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and co-author of the study. “This safety data should be comforting to families and healthcare professionals when considering and recommending vaccination.”
