Few studies have examined population-level data of the COVID-19 original and bivalent vaccine on its uptake and potential side effects. We used population-based health administrative data from Jan 2021-Feb 2023 to identify Ontario residents aged 12-35 years old to calculate their rates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake and vaccine-related cardiac events (myocarditis and pericarditis). Multivariable Cox, logistic, and negative binomial regression analyses were used to adjust for covariates.
