ABSTRACT
Introduction: the COVID-19 pandemic has posed the most significant health challenge of the 21st century. The development of new vaccines has been the most effective defense against this biological threat. However, the pediatric population may currently be the most vulnerable group, primarily due to lower vaccine coverage.
Material and methods: utilizing an academic consensus model, we compiled and critically reviewed the available scientific literature on current and controversial topics related to COVID-19 in pediatrics. We followed the guidelines outlined in the "Guidelines for the Development of Consensus" and the European AGREE initiative, emphasizing critical reading and evaluation criteria. The recommendations are presented using the GRADE scale. The consensus involved multidisciplinary teams comprising pediatricians and pediatric infectious disease specialists affiliated with Mexican Association of Pediatric Infectology (AMIP). The studies and manuscripts reviewed were selected based on keywords such as "pediatrics COVID-19", "vaccine", "epidemiology", "vaccine safety and efficacy", and "vaccine compliance", using databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Cochrane, and virtual libraries from Oxford, Harvard, and Tecnológico de Monterrey. Priority was given to articles published between January 2019 and August 2024, with older references included for context or when they represented the most robust information available. The consensus process involved one in-person meeting, two virtual sessions, and external review by two independent experts.
Results: ten relevant and/or controversial topics were identified and subjected to academic analysis based on the evidence found in the included literature. The results of the critical review of the selected articles were presented with their corresponding GRADE recommendation level.
