Introduction: The coronavirus epidemic has caused a lot of confusion and tension in the health, economic, and political systems of the world, and its impact on society has led the governments' policy to support the production of drugs and related vaccines, Therefore, this research was conducted to investigate the findings of vaccination of people infected with covid-19 hospitalized in Vasei Sabzevar Hospital in 2022.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the year 2022 at Sabzevar city. 3686 people were included in the study by available sampling method. Information was extracted from Sib system using a demographics questionnaire and checklist and analyzed with SPSS 26 software.
Results: The results showed that %64.7 people had not been vaccinated. The number of hospitalized unvaccinated people was about 1.8 times the number of vaccinated people. There was no significant difference between the number of hospitalized men and women according to the vaccination status (P=.38), although there was a significant difference in the age of people (P=.001). The frequency of diabetes was higher in the vaccinated population. There was no significant difference between the number of hospitalized men and women in terms of the number of doses received (p=0.23). Also, the mortality rate in non-vaccinated people was significantly higher and this difference was significant (P=0.017).
Conclusion: Vaccination reduces mortality and hospitalization rates, so encouraging this and proper planning to prepare vaccines in similar critical situations is recommended.

Introduction: Following the discovery and rapid spread of the COVID19and it’s epidemic, numerous studies have been published to identify, prevent and treatment focusing on the adult population. Limited information is available on children with COVID-19. According to studies, children at all ages are susceptible to infection and show different clinical manifestations in compare with adults. This study examined clinical manifestations, laboratory and radiological findings in children with COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: From March 20 until June 20, 2020, 6 children with COVID-19(based on RT-PCR), with average age of 13 years and 1 month and standard deviation of 1.81 were reported in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Esfarayen. Laboratory, clinical and radiological findings were extracted from their hospital records and reviewed by 2pediatricians and after adapting to clinical manifestations were presented in a descriptive case study.
Results: None of the children had a history of background disease or taking medications. The severity of the disease was mild in all children. None of the patients required mechanical ventilation and hospitalization in the ICU. No deaths were reported.
Conclusion: In the context of the emergence of viral infectious diseases and the uncertainty of the role of children in the transmission cycle; To better understanding the disease, the patient's clinical manifestations should be considered and clinical manifestations are defined after gathering more information about cases of children. Therefore, broader studies in the field of clinical and laboratory findings of children in recognizing the disease and its impact on children and society seems necessary.
