| アブストラクト | Although the safety profiles of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2) were evaluated in pre-authorization clinical trials, real-world data allow us to better define their benefit/risk ratio in the paediatric population. The current study aimed to evaluate the safety profiles of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in children by analysing the pharmacovigilance data of the European spontaneous reporting system database EudraVigilance (EV) in the period from 1 January 2021, to 1 October 2022. During our study period, overall 4838 ICSRs related to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines referring to 5-11-year-old subjects were retrieved from EV, of which 96.9% were related to BNT162b2 and 49.3% were related to males. A total of 12,751 Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFIs) were identified, of which 38.7% were serious. The most frequently reported AEFIs were pyrexia, headache, and vomiting. Only 20 Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) reported Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) as an AEFI, all related to BNT162b2. The majority of MIS cases were females, and six cases were completely resolved at the time of reporting. Our results show a favourable risk-benefit profile for all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in this paediatric sub-population, supporting their use in children. Considering the peculiarity and fragility of children, continuous safety monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines is required. |
