Estimated adjusted vaccine effectiveness (VE) at least 14 days after the second dose, regardless of symptom status, was 92% (95% confidence interval, 79% to 97%). Twenty-one of 243 participants (8.6%) tested positive for COVID-19, 18 (85.7%) of them reporting symptoms.

Of 15 children with preliminary reports of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), 7 recovered, and 4 were recovering by study end.
The deaths of 2 girls aged 5 and 6 years were reported; both had multiple chronic medical conditions and were in poor health before vaccination. No data suggested a causal link between vaccination and death.
