Abstract

Abstract: We describe 2116 multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during Delta and Omicron circulation from July 2021 through January 2022. Half of MIS-C patients were aged 5–11 years, 52% received intensive care unit–level care, and 1.1% died. Only 3.0% of eligible patients were fully vaccinated prior to MIS-C onset.
