Corona to children in America

In the week starting December 26, the corona test report of a total of 717 children came positive. Which was 27% of the total figure. In this, 87 had to be hospitalized. Now the situation is that many children have been admitted to the ICU. Are these hospitals in North Texas enough to tell what’s happening across America?
Covid grew at 10 times the speed
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association has issued a joint report regarding corona in children. It states that the number of COVID-19 cases has increased by about 150% in the last four weeks. Sadly, most of the children admitted to the hospital are under the age of five. Many of them are newborns. The number of children infected with Covid-19 has increased tenfold and there is no vaccine for them.
Preparing to give booster dose to children
At the same time, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday recommended a booster dose to children aged 12 to 15 years. The panel has voted for the third dose of Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s vaccines for 12-17-year-olds.
Third dose after five months
The US Health Agency recommends that children ages 12 to 15 be given a booster dose at least five months after their second dose. Cases of new variants of Covid-19 in America have reached a record level. Health officials believe that Covid 19 is taking a toll on their hospitals and children. Booster dose is one such means that can help in avoiding this epidemic.
