In New England, where #OmicronVariant prevalence was <50% through 18-Dec per CDC, some states had ⬇️ in child/teen #COVID19 ADIRs, with rates still high due to previous #DeltaVariant surge.

Very high ⬆️ in DC may be artefactual.

Florida jumped from lowest to highest ADIR of #COVID19 in kids in the Southeast last week. @CDCgov reports high prevalences of #OmicronVariant in the Southeast, so expect widening and accelerating ⬆️ across multiple states.

New cases of #COVID19 in kids are ⬆️ in Illinois and Ohio. Declines in ADIR in Michigan, Minnesota, and Indiana last week indicate #OmicronVariant hasn't hit kids hard yet in those states. But ADIRs still high due to #DeltaVariant
