Omicron in Wisconsin: We haven't peaked yet

 



This week, state data showed 6,270 new infections for those younger than age 18. They account for one-third of the state's seven-day average of nearly 19,000 infections per day.' 
COVID-19 infections among children are typically less severe. But as with adults, the overwhelming majority of severe cases are among those who have not been vaccinated against the disease.  [emphasis added]
"We're seeing that the majority of children who are hospitalized or in the ICU are unvaccinated," Zapata said. "The best way to prevent severe illness and deaths is to get vaccinated, and that's one of the best ways we can protect our children."
