The decision to vaccinate children from coronavirus should be made by each country independently and may depend on a number of conditions. About this in a conversation with “Tape.ru” said Professor Virology of British University of Round Jen Jones.
As one of the main indicators, he called the age structure of society. In addition, an important role is played by how many adults have been vaccinated in this country, which drugs are available in it and as a whole society is configured to vaccinate children.
The virologist noted that while he has no data that would indicate that the more contagious “delta” -variant coronavirus is simultaneously and more dangerous for children. “Increased infinity of the virus means that they are infected with more people. The percentage of seriously ill in this case does not change, but their absolute number is growing,” explained Jones.
Previously, the New York Times newspaper reported that more and more children in the United States fall into hospitals after infection “Delta” -varita Coronavirus. The media interviewed by the publication note that it is not yet clear whether this kind of virus causes a more severe course of the disease in children, and the growth of hospitalization among children with high infinity “Delta” -variant. It is noted that all children who have fallen in hospitals with COVID-19 were unusted, as children’s vaccination is allowed only over 12 years old.
