Three-year Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein Antibody Among Children, Parental Awareness, and Contributors of Infection: A Single-school Cohort Study in Chiba, Japan
The Omicron variant outbreak from the end of 2021 led to a sharp increase in seroprevalence among children, with many unaware of their infection. Frequent play with others may facilitate transmission in children. These data provide useful information for developing countermeasures against COVID-19 and other future pandemics.
