🇦🇺 COVID-19’s toll on children and young people

"A growing body of work is challenging the view that COVID-19 does not pose a significant threat to most children and young people. It comes amid growing concerns that there could be long-term implications for some young people who have contracted the virus."

Australian children and young people over the past 2 years.

This includes data showing that:

🔹 Around 50,000 children aged 0-14 were hospitalised with COVID between 2021-2022.

🔹 On average one child was admitted to ICU every day in 2022, totalling 362 admissions among 0-14-year-olds.

🔹 Hospitalisation and mortality rates for COVID far exceed those for other respiratory diseases such as influenza and RSV.
