Delta variants do not cause more severe COVID in childhood: study.

Although pediatric. Hospital admissions in the United States have increased since COVID became the most common type of delta, a recent study that looks at the data for the first time raises concerns about a variety of more severe diseases. Are baseless

According to a published study, between June 20 and July 31, 2021, immunized teens are 10 times more likely to be vaccinated than adolescents.

Between March 1, 2020 and August 14, 2021, the Health Agency reviewed hospital records from 10% of the US population.

This includes the appearance of the Delta variant, the most contagious variant ever, and the time between its dominance, which began on June 20.

In the first week to January 9, when the United States experienced a winter surge caused by alpha variants, pediatric hospital admissions reached a record high of 1.5 per 100,000.

Children aged 12-17 and 0-4 have a higher risk of being admitted to COVID hospital than those aged 5-11. This is according to the previous results.

Because the number of hospital admissions in the post-Delta period is very low, scientists will need additional data to rely on their findings.

The study also highlighted the effectiveness of the vaccine against pediatric COVID hospital admissions during Delta.

Of the 68 adolescents hospitalized with COVID-19 whose vaccination status was confirmed between June 20 and July 31, 59 were immunized, five were partially vaccinated and four were fully vaccinated. Vaccinated.
