- Abstract
Little is known about the risk of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) with different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. In southeast England, MIS-C rates per confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in children aged 0–16 years were 56% lower (rate ratio [RR], 0.34 [95% confidence interval {CI},.23–.50]) during prevaccine Delta, 66% lower (RR, 0.44 [95% CI,.28–.69]) during postvaccine Delta, and 95% lower (RR, 0.05 [95% CI,.02–.10]) during the Omicron period.
