Symptom-Specific Hospital Contacts in 12-18-Year-Olds Vaccinated against COVID-19: A Danish Register-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: In this register-based real-life cohort study, changes in symptom-specific hospital contacts among 12-18-year-olds following two doses of the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine compared to unvaccinated peers were investigated. Using national register data, vaccinated and unvaccinated adolescents were sex and age-matched each week during the inclusion period from May to September 2021. Symptom-specific hospital contacts covering ICD-10 R diagnoses were assessed before first the vaccine dose and after the second vaccine dose. Taking previous rates of symptom-specific hospital contacts into account, differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated adolescents were found. For some hospital contacts, higher rates were seen among the vaccinated, and for others, higher rates were seen among the unvaccinate
