Covid vaccines shielded adolescents against life-threatening Covid, not less severe illness --study

Fri, 2022-04-01 11:34 — mike kraft

Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization held steady in children aged 5 to 11 years, however, and among adolescents ages 12 to 18 years, two doses of the vaccine remained highly protective against critical illness requiring life support.
