RESUMEN
La pandemia por Covid-19 ha provocado millones de hospitalizaciones y muertes en el mundo, principalmente en la población adulta. A pesar de que la población pediátrica se ha visto afectada con una menor frecuencia y severidad que los adultos, no están exentos de casos prolongados, graves y letalidad, destacando la aparición de un nuevo cuadro clínico, como el síndrome inflamatorio multisistémico asociado a Covid-19. Constantes esfuerzos científicos han permitido avanzar de manera efectiva en la implementación de estrategias de vacunación pediátrica masiva contra el Covid-19. Actualmente, en Chile esta estrategia está demostrando ser segura, efectiva y puede colaborar con la reapertura de escuelas y el regreso a clases presenciales, de manera de disminuir las interrupciones y brechas escolares, otorgando otros beneficios indirectos, tales como el mejoramiento de la salud mental y emocional, el incremento de la actividad física y estabilidad familiar, aportando en el mejoramiento del bienestar y calidad de vida de los niños y sus familias.
ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused millions of hospitalizations and deaths in the world, mainly in the adult population. Although the pediatric population has been affected less frequently and less severely than adults, they are not exempt from prolonged, severe cases and lethality by SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the appearance of a new clinical picture, such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with Covid-19. Constant scientific efforts have made it possible to effectively advance in the implementation of mass pediatric vaccination strategies against Covid-19. Currently, in Chile this strategy is proving to be safe, effective and can collaborate with the school openings and returning to presential classes, to reduce interruptions and school-gaps, granting other indirect benefits, such as the improvement of mental and emotional health, the increase of physical activity and family stability, contributing to the improvement of the well-being and quality of life of children and their families.
