Since December 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant has been spreading in Israel, and by January or February 2021 it quickly became the predominant circulating strain, isolated in more than 80% of cases. Concomitantly, a mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign was launched in Israel.
The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 spread in children, aged 0 to 9 years, in 2 periods when different SARS-CoV-2 variants were circulating: August to October 2020, when former SARS-CoV-2 variants (mostly GH and GR clades) circulated, and December 2020 to February 2021 since the introduction of the B.1.1.7 variant in Israel.
