Fauci Hopes Kids Are Being Vaccinated For Covid-19 By Late Spring

The head of the National Institutes of Health, Anthony Fauci, would like children to start to be vaccinated by late spring, early summer saying that it is needed to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The survival rate of Covid-19 in children ages 0-19 is currently 99.99% according to the CDC. In ages 20-49 it drops down to 99.98% and ages 50-69 it is 99.5%.

Newsmax reports:

Vaccines are not yet approved for children, and Fauci was looking ahead to a time they will be plentiful. Even older adults are having difficulty getting shots at the moment. As of Thursday, only about 1.3% of Americans had been fully vaccinated with the required two doses of the currently available vaccines.

Children represent about one-fourth of the population, and for the U.S. to reach “herd immunity,” or widespread resistance, about 70% to 85% of the population must be vaccinated.

“Children tend to not become as severely ill as adults but they can still become ill and some have tragically died,” said Dr. Leana Wen, a public health expert and emergency room physician, who supports Fauci’s goal. “Children can also be vectors of transmission, and getting children vaccinated is important as we strive for herd immunity.”

Due to insufficient testing data on young people, the Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved vaccines for children.  Through a process called “age de-escalation testing,” Fauci says data is being gathered now.
