The [American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)] is recommending that pediatricians ask patients during sports exams if they have had the COVID-19 vaccine or SARS-CoV-2 infection. Updated preparticipation history and physical exam forms now have a section for COVID-19 information.
The changes give pediatricians a starting point to discuss vaccination and the opportunity to document the history in the patient’s medical record. The recommendations are included in the updated interim guidance on returning to sports and physical activity.
