Corona Newsflash: Help, stijging! En: kinderen vaccineren? - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- The sharp rise in COVID-19 cases is primarily among the 10-29 age group, while hospitalizations and deaths are still declining.
- Indoor events are risky, with 180 infections traced to a single nightclub despite testing requirements; caution is advised.
- Vaccines are effective against severe illness from the Delta variant but do not prevent all infections; vaccinated individuals can still transmit the virus.
- Vaccination for 12-18 year olds is recommended, with the choice left to the child if they can explain their decision; risks of side effects are low compared to risks of long COVID.
- Monitoring hospital admission numbers is key to assessing the situation, and vaccine effectiveness against severe disease remains high.
