For several months in a row, corona infections among children and adolescents in the United States have been declining. But the picture has changed in the last few weeks. The rate of infection among children is rising again just before the start of schools in different provinces. Experts blame delta pressure and the failure to vaccinate 12-year-olds.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (UP), between July 8 and 15 alone, 23,550 children were newly infected. This is double the last half of June. However, according to the app, the rate of serious illness among children is very low. Vaccination of 12-year-old children in the United States has not yet begun. Anthony Fouchi, one of the country’s coroner’s experts, said in a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday that it was “cold” for people under the age of 12 to receive information about immunizations. Based on that information, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will release the antidote. As a result, some experts believe that opening schools this year is too risky because many school children are not vaccinated. Rochelle Valensky, head of the Centers for Disease Control, warned: “Of the 600 people who die in the corona in the United States, only 400 are children. As a result, if anyone thinks their risk is low, they are mistaken. Not a single child will die. 400 is a very large number. “
Modern and Pfizer are testing 12-year-olds. Pfizer said test data for children between the ages of 5 and 11 will be available by September. After that the results will be available to children aged 2 to 5 years. The younger ones, i.e. children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years, will get the test data by October or November. So it is clear that they are less likely to be vaccinated within this year.
Johns Hopkins University reports that many children in the United States have not received other important immunizations. They need rapid immunization.
