Real-World Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of Two Doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccination in Children Aged 5-11 Years.

ABSTRACT: There are limited data concerning the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in children. A total of 110 children, 5-11 years old were vaccinated with two doses (with a 3-week interval between doses) of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and were followed for 21, 90, and 180 days after vaccination for immunogenicity, adverse events, and breakthrough infections. Ninety days after the first vaccine dose, the GeoMean (CI 95%) of IgG ascended to 1291.0 BAU (929.6-1790.2) for uninfected children and 1670.0 BAU (1131.0-2466.0) for Infected children. One hundred and eighty days after receiving the first dose of the vaccine, the titers decreased to 535.5 BAU (288.4-993.6) for the uninfected children, while only a small decline was detected among infected children-1479.0 (878.2-24
