Does Omicron affect children? Physicians report!!!
Children under the age of five in south africa are infected with corona and hospitalized. Doctors say that omicron infections can spread rapidly in children but they will have only mild side effects. In India, only people over the age of 18 are allowed to be vaccinated. The vaccine has not been introduced in children under 18 years of age. In this case, there is a fear that the new omicron corona will have a greater impact on children.
Until now, south africa had the highest number of children affected by omicron. Pediatricians explain that the first phase studies are done.
Corona exposure is less common in children under the age of five. But a significant number of children under the age of five in south africa have been exposed to omicron. Preliminary reports suggest that children of non-vaccinated parents are more vulnerable. The number of children affected is on the rise, even though there is no serious harm to children.
Commenting on the impact of Omicron, a pediatrician, said: "Previous types of the delta, alpha have not been as harmful to children as they used to be, but the Omicron virus has become more prevalent in hospitals in south africa, affecting children under the age of five.
Vaccinated parents can protect their children from the spread of the disease. In our country, people between the ages of 12 and 18 are not eligible for vaccination. If we want to save children between the ages of 12 and 18, parents can save children only if everyone around them is vaccinated. In India, seven states, including tamil Nadu, are currently licensed to administer the ZyCoV-D vaccine to children between the ages of 12 and 18 on a trial basis.
