huge amount of recent interest in invasive group A streptococcus (iGAS) infection in children
but up until now little patient-level clinical data on this spike in cases
we hope our case series @TheLancetInfDis will help address this knowledge gap https://t.co/75kV7FVmST 1/n pic.twitter.com/ytKyRu8MYi— Thomas Christie Williams (@Williams_T_C) January 10, 2023

The 10-µg dose of BNT162b2 led to modest, rapidly waning protection against Covid-19 in children 5 to 11 years old. The 30-µg dose in adolescents gave greater, more durable protection; more so in 12-to-14-year-olds than in 15-to-17-year-olds. https://t.co/ddcqiR8jvO pic.twitter.com/M8oSFYoFlw
