COVID vaccine for teens: Kids at high risk should be a top priority

Last October, a large study from the United Kingdom revealed that when it comes to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, people with Down syndrome are four times more likely to be hospitalized – and 10 times more likely to die – than the general population. My son, an autistic boy with Down syndrome, was 13 at the time and I remember the spike of dread that I felt when I read those numbers, confirming everything that I feared. A few weeks later, in early November, word came from school that he had been exposed to COVID. Then he got a low fever that just wouldn’t go away. My wife got a positive COVID test and a much higher fever. We spent half the month in terror that things would get worse, though thankfully they didn’t.
