MADISON, Wis. Over the last month, we’ve been seeing an increase in COVID cases among kids. With the variants spreading, those numbers have had doctors worried.
Now, statewide and Dane County data shows COVID cases among high school and middle school kids are decreasing.
That’s great news, but until children under age 16 can get vaccinated, they will always be vulnerable to the virus.
“A parent, a grandparent, a teacher, an older sibling if all of those people are vaccinated, that’s protecting that younger person and that family, or community from getting COVID,” said Rebecca LeBeau, a member of Public Health Madison & Dane County’s data team.
