Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and burden of proxy-reported acute symptoms in children in the first 4 weeks after detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, and factors associated with symptom burden.
Methods: Nationwide cross-sectional survey using parental proxy reporting of symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. In July 2021, a survey was sent to the mothers of all Danish children aged 0-14 years with a positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test between January 2020 and July 2021.

This study investigated self-reported short- and long-term symptoms among adolescents receiving the BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 and those who did not. A retrospective cohort study based on Danish national survey (collected between 20 July and 15 September 2021) and register data was conducted. Differences in short-term (<14 days) and long-term (>two months) symptoms were explored using logistic regression adjusted for confounders.
