Covid-19 hospitalization rates among children are soaring in the United States, with an average of ...
This represents a 48% increase from the week ending December 4, and the largest increase in hospitalization rate this age group has seen over the course of the pandemic.
New hospital admissions for children under 18 with confirmed Covid-19 are already at a record level, at an average of 797 each day, according to data from the CDC and the US Department of Health and Human Services. This is the highest it has ever been, and it's an 80% increase over the previous week.
"I would say the best way to keep those children protected is to vaccinate them as they're eligible and surround them by siblings and parents who are vaccinated themselves," Walensky said.
Over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, close to 82,000 children have been hospitalized with Covid-19, according to most recent data from the CDC.
