COVID-19 vaccination-related attendance at a pediatric emergency department in Singapore among 12- to 18-year old adolescents.

Background: Singapore was one of the first countries to begin COVID-19 vaccination with the BNT162b2 vaccine for adolescents aged 12-18 years. This study evaluates the incidence of COVID-19 vaccine related attendances to a Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) to understand post-vaccination health behaviors among adolescents.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of electronic medical records over a 4 month period, from the start of the adolescent vaccination drive to when more than 85% of this group had been fully vaccinated.
