In the 5-to-11 age group, about 1.9 million children have been infected to date, more than 8,300 have been hospitalized and 94 have died.
A Newsweek cover seeking to illustrate the concerns that some American parents have expressed about their children being vaccinated against COVID-19 has met with sharp criticism from health experts and nonexperts alike.
If the FDA agrees with that vote, the matter with pass to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is due to meet next week to make a final decision on how a rollout will be managed. About 6.3 million children have had COVID-19 during the course of the pandemic, making up about 16% of all cases in the U.S., according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. About 118,000 new cases were diagnosed during the week through Oct. 21, marking a seventh weekly decline from a peak of nearly 252,000 added the week of Sept. 2, when the highly transmissible delta variant was still taking a major toll. Over a million child cases were added in the previous six weeks, the academy said.
