“We already have a low number of people using the vaccines to start with,” Benjamin said.
“There hasn’t been enough promotion of vaccinations for kids, and then you have Mr [Robert F] Kennedy’s [Jr] unscientific statements about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, particularly Covid vaccines, for both pregnant women and kids. It has muddied the waters of what people know about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.”
The vaccine is extremely effective, especially against hospitalization and death.
Yet only 5.6% of children aged six months to four years are vaccinated against Covid, and about 15% of children aged five to 17 are vaccinated, according to the CDC.
While older adults have the highest rates of hospitalization and death, children continue seeing hospitalization rates from Covid similar to rates in 2020 and 2021.
And there are other concerns with Covid infection.
“We don’t know the long-term impact for kids who have gotten Covid as a disease. We do know it does cause a multi-systemic inflammatory process in a number of kids, which is very severe, and we don’t know the long-term implications for long Covid in kids,” Benjamin said.
Covid cases are rising in many parts of the US amid other vaccine restrictions proposed and implemented by health officials.
