March 13, 2023 -- Black children had almost three times as many COVID-related deaths as white children and about twice as many hospitalizations, according toThe study said that 1,556 children have died from the start of the pandemic until Nov. 30, 2022, with 593 of those children being 4 and under. Black children died of COVID-related causes 2.7 times more often than White children and were hospitalized 2.2 times more often than White children, the study said.
“First and foremost, this study repudiates the misunderstanding that COVID-19 has not been of consequence to children who have had more than 15.5 million reported cases, representing 18 percent of all cases in the United States,” Reed Tuckson, MD, a member of the Black Coalition Against COVID board of directors and former District of Columbia public health commissioner, said in a news release.
The study was commissioned by BCAC and conducted by the Satcher Health Leadership Institute of the Morehouse School of Medicine. It’s based on studies conducted by other agencies conducted over two years. The study says one in 310 Black children lost a parent or caregiver to COVID between April 2020 and June 2012, compared to one in 738 White children.
