We quantified antibiotic prescribing for ambulatory pediatric acute respiratory illness at 22 institutions in "pre-shortage" (Jan 2019-Sep 2022) and "shortage" (Oct 2022-Mar 2023) periods for amoxicillin. While acute respiratory illness prescribing increased across settings, the proportion of amoxicillin prescriptions decreased. Variation was seen within and between institutions.
