As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations rise among children, experts discuss the symptoms of omicron and the role of vaccination in keeping kids safe.
During the week of Dec. 5, there were 22 hospital admissions among kids ages 0 to 18 with COVID-19 in the city and 70 statewide. But during the week of Dec. 19, there were 109 new pediatric hospitalizations in New York City and a total of 184 in the state.
"We're releasing these data because we want pediatricians to be alert to making the diagnosis of COVID in children. And we also want parents to be alert to the diagnosis," Bassett continued."Many people continue to think children don't become infected with COVID; this is not true. Children become infected and some will be hospitalized.
"We have seen an increase in the number of kids being hospitalized with COVID," Dr. Sallie Permar, pediatrician-in-chief at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Komansky Children's Hospital and chair of the department of pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine, told TODAY.
