With the highly contagious delta variant, which can reinfect those who had Covid before, the vaccine mostly protects the person vaccinated. In one week over one million new cases in the US.
And children:
‘Change in Child COVID-19 Cases*
251,781 child COVID-19 cases were reported the past week from 8/26/21-9/2/21 (4,797,683 to 5,049,465) and children represented 26.8% (251,781/939,470) of the weekly reported cases
Over two weeks, 8/19/21-9/2/21, there was a 10% increase in the cumulated number of child COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic (455,744 cases added (4,593,721 to 5,049,465))’
So more than 1 out of 4 cases were in children. They are now filling the pediatric hospitals as well. Very scary time to be a parent.
They might have vaccine available for children by Halloween. (FOX TV).
