• Description:
  We previously assessed safety of monovalent messenger RNA (mRNA) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines using weekly surveillance monitoring known as rapid cycle analysis (RCA) among individuals aged 5 years and older, identifying an increased risk for myocarditis and pericarditis in younger males, particularly following dose 2 of the primary series.1–3 Information regarding COVID-19 vaccine safety among children under age 5 is limited.4 Here we report RCA safety surveillance of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered in this youngest age group within the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD).
