Weekly COVID-19–associated hospitalization rates among children and adolescents rose nearly five-fold during late June–mid-August 2021, coinciding with increased circulation of the highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. The proportions of hospitalized children and adolescents with severe disease were similar before and during the period of Delta predominance.
Par ailleurs comme chez l’adulte les adolescents vaccinés sont beaucoup moins souvent hospitalisés que les non-vaccinés
