COVID-19 Vaccination Reduces Pediatric Asthma Symptoms

Higher COVID-19 vaccination rates are linked to a decrease in pediatric asthma symptoms, with a 10 percentage point increase in vaccination coverage associated with a 0.36 percentage point decrease in symptoms. Various studies explore the relationship between COVID-19 and asthma, some suggesting a decline in asthma symptoms as the population's COVID-19 vaccination rate rises. Measures like social distancing during the pandemic and vaccination efforts have been found to reduce asthma-related emergency visits. Nasal immune defenses boosted by frequent infections in children might have played a role in protecting them from severe COVID-19.
