You can now view current pediatric #COVID19 hospitalizations by state - remember these data only go back to last fall - no data at all for first 6 pandemic months.
Cumulative #COVID19 death data reveal that infants suffer the highest mortality rates, followed by 18-19 year olds, and 12-17 year olds. Children 1-11 years have the lowest death rates.
Finally, the majority of kids 12-17 years old remain NOT fully vaxxed against #COVID19. Darker = higher percent unvaxxed. Remember only full vaccination is protective against #DeltaVariant
There were 3,142 children 0-17 years old hospitalized with #COVID19 on 06-Jan-2022. This is MORE THAN TWICE as many as were hospitalized on 04-Sept-2021 at the peak of the #DeltaVariant surge.
Average daily incidence of #COVID19 in children and teens ⬆️40% in one week to 51.4 new cases per 100,000 per day, approaching the #DeltaVariant surge summer high.
Keep in mind: some states only reported through 12/22 or 12/23.
