Covid-19 is getting worse for children
More than 200,000 kids test positive in a week
Concern is growing over infections in children, many of whom don't have access to the vaccine yet.
And those who are eligible are not reaping the full benefits. Children ages 12 to 15 are eligible but less then half of that group is vaccinated with at least one dose, according to data published Monday by the CDC.
The result has been cases in children increasing "exponentially," the American Academy of Pediatrics reported Tuesday.
More than 200,000 children tested positive for Covid-19 in the last week, a five-fold increase from a month ago, the AAP said. And rates of hospitalizations have risen with the cases.
Between August 20 and 26, an average of 330 children were admitted to hospitals every day with Covid-19, according to the CDC. That is the highest rate of new Covid-19 hospitalizations among children in more than a year, according to the CDC data.
An early goal of the vaccination effort was to administer enough protection to curb the spread in time for the new school year and allow students to return to the classroom safely -- something many hadn't done for a year.
