Hospitalizations For Children Increase With Delta Variant “One of the studies by the CDC found that emergency room visits and hospital admissions among children were three times higher in states with lowest vaccination coverage.”
The silver lining of this alarming correlation is that the Delta variant does not seem to be any more severe than other strains. “Although we are seeing more cases in children and more overall cases, these studies demonstrated that there was not increased disease severity in children,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky explained during a press conference. “Instead, more children have COVID-19 because there is more disease in the community,” which makes sense.
The second study confirms another fairly obvious correlation about vaccination and hospitalization rates.
