Covid-19 Can Make Some Children Very Sick
COVID-19 can make some children very sick. A new MMWR report finds that among nearly 400 children ages 5–11 years hospitalized with COVID-19 during the first few months of Omicron:
- 9 in 10 were unvaccinated
- 7 in 10 had COVID-19 as the main reason for hospitalization
- 3 in 10 had no underlying conditions
- 2 in 10 were admitted to the ICU
Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines is the best way to protect all children from COVID-19
