TORONTO — Children five and under in Ontario should be vaccinated against COVID-19 and influenza before the holiday season amid surging hospital admissions, infectious disease experts are warning.
Data released by Public Health Ontario shows that as of Nov. 6, only seven per cent of Ontario children aged six months to five years had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and as few as two per cent were fully vaccinated. The experts said that's particularly concerning because children aged four and under have a higher risk for hospitalization from COVID-19 than any other group of kids and teens.Several Ontario pediatric hospitals have recently announced they would cut back on surgeries and deploy staff to help backstop overburdened intensive care units and emergency rooms.
Hospital admissions are surging under a triple-threat of respiratory syncytial virus, influenza and COVID-19, at a time when the health-care system was already grappling with record numbers of job vacancies.
Parents that can’t tell where their noses end and government’s ass begins will be lining their children up like lambs to the slaughter! Take a minute out of your self absorbed lives and DO SOME RESEARCH! Your child’s life literally depends on it!
Self appointed experts on the take. Little kids bounced back way faster before the jab than after. END ALL MANDATES MEDICAL INFORMATION IS PRIVATE
That pediatric infectious disease expert is an embarrassment and a liar.
Maybe it's because the vaccine protects against serious illness and death and kids in that age range aren't at risk for serious illness and death?
