Serious illness in children is rare, but pediatric coronavirus cases are on the rise, and many parents wonder if their unvaccinated children will be next to get sick — a worry they had all but shed as Covid-19 cases nationwide dropped earlier this year.
“We don’t hear all the stories of people that came into contact with someone who had Covid and didn’t get sick,” said Dr. Buddy Creech, director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Research Program at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “Vaccination is not a full-armored vest; rather, it is our best protection.
