In low-vaccination states, quadrupling rates of child COVID-19 hospitalizations observed during August
According to new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention research, hospitalization for COVID-19 for children and adolescents increased four-fold in August in states with low levels of vaccination, compared with states with high levels. The study, released Sept. 3, observed hospitalizations of children up to the age of 17 over the most recent two-week period (Aug. 14-27), including emergency department visits. During that time, COVID-19-related ED visits and hospital admissions in the states with the lowest vaccination coverage were 3.4 and 3.7 times that of states with the highest vaccination coverage.
