For your help babies, 6 months and younger are being hospitalized with covid at higher rates than before during the pandemic. This is according to a new cdc report concerning development and proud forces. Sigma dune spoke with the local pediatrician about what parents need to know. Theres a new cdc report on covid19 associated hospitalization rates of in 6 months and younger. The report focuses on covid19 and the subsequent variants delta and omicron during the pandemic among infants, too young to be immunized against the virus. And the observation thats getting a lot of attention is that in the most viral variant there was an increased incidence of hospitalization. In children less than 6 months. Pediatric pulmonologist at Stanford Childrens Health doctor david cornfield on the medical significance of the reports findings, a relative severity of the disease, but is not. It increased. So while they more kids hospitalized, those kids that were needing higher levels of support, icu care, mechanical ventilation, that percentage of children was not increased over the prior 2 variants that were analyzed. Doctor cornfield says one probable explanation for these results are mothers being vaccinated. Theres probably some component of passive immunity that moms who have been immunized give to their children and that likely will decrease the level of severity for these kids. He says the likely increase in children 6 months and younger being hospitalized for covid likely boils down to the relaxing the pandemicrelated social norms in the community. And that is that people are not so socially isolated any longer and were interacting more and most people have across our country that really discarded the idea of using masks. That said the question is, is it safe for the pregnant mom or the parents of an infant child to attend the upcoming holiday gatherings . Im not suggesting that people be cavalier and go around sick folks. But i do think that its ok to. Feel safe to celebrate with your family, recognizing that the overwhelming majority of kids who are less than 6 months old do not get covid kron. 4 news.
