While the number of Covid-19 admissions is down across most of the United States, it is clear that the struggle against the epidemic is far from done since eight states were reporting a shortage of ICU beds.

Because of the reduction in capacity due to Covid-19, many hospitals are experiencing resource and personnel constraints, which leaves them unable to offer the high level of care that they would want, as per health care experts and researchers.

According to data from the Centers for Disease and Prevention in the United States, the number of Covid-19 hospitalizations has decreased by more than 1,400 each day on average during the previous week.

Health experts say it is still unclear if the change is a transient blip on the radar or the start of the end of the world and that now may not be the time to relax.

NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci has stated that the great majority of the population in the United States will need to be immunized in order to limit the spread of the virus. Still, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), just 56 percent of the population is completely immunized.

Furthermore, because children under the age of 12 are still not able to receive vaccinations, many experts worry about how youngsters will fare. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of 225 children were hospitalized to the hospital for Covid-19 per day over the previous seven days. Compared to the previous week, the number has decreased to an average of 263 people.

Despite the fact that pediatric infections are on the decline, the number of cases continues to rise. Children under the age of 18 make up 22 percent of the population of the United States. Still, they account for 27 percent of all cases in the country, according to data released Monday by the Academy Of Pediatrics ( AAP. While the severity and fatality of those situations are less frequent, children may experience long-term effects as a result of their illness.

Child fatalities are an ’embarrassment,’ according to some.

The rationale for licensing a vaccination in children is the prevention of child fatalities from avoidable illnesses such as Covid-19, according to the senior vaccine official of the United States Food and Drug Administration. “Thousands of children have been admitted to hospitals as a result of the newest wave of Covid-19, which has mostly affected the southern states. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 645 kids have died of Covid-19 in the United States.

Marks said he didn’t know whether the FDA’s Immunisation and Related Physiological Products Advisory Committee, which is scheduled to meet on October 14 and 15, would approve a vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. Still, he assured reporters that the agency would move quickly to review necessary data as soon as it became available.
