What is Association of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Vaccination or a Prior Positive Test Result in Adolescents during the Delta Variant Surge in Kentucky about?

In a cross-sectional study of 89 736 adolescents in Kentucky, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination provided an estimated protection against infection of 81% when the highly transmissible Delta variant was predominant. Vaccination provided added benefit to those with a history of prior infection. These findings support the recommendation that all adolescents receive SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. (J Pediatr 2022;248:119-21). ## C oronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are effective in preventing severe illness and death caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant, 1,2 although protection against asymptomatic and mild disease may be reduced compared with previous variants. 3,4 Data for adolescents are limited. 5,6 We evaluated the association of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or a prior positive test result with subsequent infection (as indicated by a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2) in adolescents during a period when the Delta variant was predominant in Kentucky.
