112,590 adolescents (88,811 vaccinated) were included in the cohort for the analysis against Delta variant, and 188,894 children (101,277 vaccinated), and 84,735 adolescents (37,724 vaccinated) were included for the analysis against Omicron variant. During the Delta period, the estimated effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine against long COVID among adolescents was 95.4% (95% CI: 90.9%–97.7%). During the Omicron phase, the estimated effectiveness against long COVID among children was 60.2% (95% CI: 40.3%–73.5%) and 75.1% (95% CI: 50.4%–87.5%) among adolescents.
