COVID boosters could prevent thousands of pediatric hospitalizations, study says.
- More COVID-19 booster shots could prevent thousands of pediatric hospitalizations and millions of missed school days, according to a new study., researchers found that if COVID-19 booster coverage reached 80% of school-age children by the end of the year, more than 50,000 hospitalizations could be avoided.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fewer than 5% of school-age children currently have their updated booster shot. To get to 50% coverage by the end of the year, the pace of vaccination would reportedly have to be at least ten times faster than it’s been to this point in November.Just 32% of children ages 5 to 11 and 61% of those ages 12 to 17 have completed their initial series of COVID-19 vaccination compared to 78% of adults.
