Effectiveness of 2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccines in Children in the United States - VISION, August 29, 2024-September 2, 2025.
Article in MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
During September 2023-August 2024, approximately 38,000 COVID-19-associated hospitalizations occurred among children and adolescents aged <18 years in the United States, a rate of approximately 53 per 100,000 children, ranging from 600 per 100,000 children aged <6 months to 21 per 100,000 children and adolescents aged 5-17 years. On June 27, 2024, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that all persons aged ≥6 months receive a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine, which targeted Omicron JN.1 and JN.1-derived sublineages. Investigators used a test-negative case-control design to estimate vaccine effectiveness (VE) of 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines against COVID-19-associated emergency department or urgent care (ED/UC) visits during August 29, 2024-September 2, 2025, among immunocompetent children aged 9 months-4 years and children and adolescents aged 5-17 years in the CDC-funded Virtual SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, and Other respiratory viruses Network (VISION), a multisite electronic health record-based network in nine states. Among children aged 9 months-4 years, VE against COVID-19-associated ED/UC visits was estimated at 76% (95% CI = 58%-87%) during the first 7-179 days after vaccination. Among children and adolescents aged 5-17 years, VE against COVID-19-associated ED/UC visits was an estimated 56% (95% CI = 35%-70%) during the first 7-179 days after vaccination. These findings suggest that vaccination with a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine dose provided children with additional protection against COVID-19-associated ED/UC encounters compared with no 2024-2025 dose.
