フランスの医学アカデミーはオミクロンで子どものリスクが上がっているために、安全性と効果から子どももワクチンを迷わずに打てと推奨しているよう。 https://t.co/FO2rsBlhaD

As in the United States, this phenomenon is accompanied by a significant increase in daily pediatric hospitalizations: in the second week of 2022, 979 children aged 0 to 9 years were hospitalized (source GEODES), nearly 80% of them having no comorbidities [1], and 9 deaths have occurred since the 1er January (source GEODES).
It is of course necessary to distinguish between children hospitalized "for Covid" and children hospitalized "with Covid" but for another cause. However, the share of the former remains in the majority and includes a significant proportion of pediatric multi-systemic inflammatory syndromes (PIMS) of delayed occurrence compared to infection (3 to 12 weeks later) and generally attributable to the Delta variant [2].
Vaccination in the 5-11 age group was first recommended only for children with comorbidities at risk of severe forms [3], then from 20 December 2021 to all children, but not mandatory [1].
What Parents of Kids Under 5 Need to Know About
- New hospital admissions for children with COVID-19 have spiked, according to the CDC.
- Although hospitalizations are up, deaths for children remain low.

Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli announced today that the state has received reports of four Covid-related deaths among children in the month since Christmas, making up fully one-third of the 12 Covid-related pediatric deaths registered since the pandemic began.
According to Persichilli, three of the deaths were among infants and the fourth was a child under 10 years of age.
“While it is difficult to know for sure if Covid-19 directly contributed to these deaths as opposed to being what is termed an ‘incidental’ infection, I want to remind parents to take all necessary precautions to protect infants from exposure to the virus,” Persichilli said.
Omicron 'inherently milder' than Delta for young kids, but parents shouldn't let guard down
Updated 2300 GMT (0700 HKT) January 14,
When you have such huge numbers of infected individuals, even a low likelihood of a severe event -- which is generally the case in children; they generally tolerate the virus much better than adults do -- it stands to reason that you're going to see more kids with rare and potentially serious consequences of the infection," said Dr. Richard Malley, an infectious disease specialist at Boston Children's Hospital.
The study found about 70% reduction in hospitalizations, ICU admissions and mechanical ventilation among children infected with Omicron compared with those infected with Delta. They also found a 29% reduction in visits to the emergency room. Data on deaths was not included, as there were so few reported.
Overall, about 1% of children infected with Omicron were hospitalized, compared with about 3% of children with Delta, according to the study.
More UK infants in hospital amid Omicron wave but experts urge calm
Proportion of hospitalised children aged under one rises, though medics say most cases are very mild
The proportion of infants in hospital with Covid-19 in the UK has risen with the spread of Omicron, figures suggest, although researchers have urged calm, noting most cases are very mild.
“I really want to emphasise here the fact that these are not particularly sick infants. In fact, they’re coming in for short periods of time for investigations,” he said. “If we look at those who went on to a high dependency unit, our intensive care unit, again, the proportions have fallen over time.”
ここらへんは微妙なんだけど、
１）子供にも急激にコロナ感染が拡がっている。
２）もっとも、大抵の場合、症状は軽症
３）ただし、これだけ感染が拡がるとなかには重症化するのもまれにでてくる
４）それが基礎疾患があったためかコロナ単独で重症化ー死亡したかは不明。
５）特に基礎疾患がある子どもはワクチン接種したほうがいい。
みたいな感じかなあ。
子供の死亡数は少ないが、フランスで１月以降９名、アメリカのニュージャージーでクリスマス以降４名のコロナ関連死がでている、と。
