Young children are at risk for severe #COVID19. COVID-NET data show rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in children ages 4 years & younger are rising rapidly. Getting vaccinated can help protect children who aren't eligible for vaccination. More: bit.ly/2ETd34F
@CDCgov Maybe encourage pre schools to go remote for 3-4 weeks. Just a thought.
@CDCgov Save the kids and get vaccinated! Don’t be a covidphile!
@CDCgov Good thing the FDA is taking its sweet time on approval for under 5s, with multiple delays now. Please authority off-label use for all of us with under 5s. It's unethical to withhold it. thehastingscenter.org/with-pediatric…
@CDCgov It really bothers me when the CDC release this type of data and even fully vaccinated individuals can contract and spread COVID-19. It's really scary for parents.
@CDCgov Where exactly is the data? Who is collecting the data? How about data on treatment effectiveness? How about data on mask ineffectiveness? How about data on your inability to actually follow the science?
@CDCgov I guess that’s technically accurate: young kids can get very sick, vaccine can decrease transmission But this is misleading & counterproductive: - For anxious vaccinated parents, anxiety goes up - For those who don’t trust the CDC, trust goes down Compare to UK pediatric group:

@CDCgov Why the wait. It’s on the @US_FDA desk. #Covaxin4Kids
@CDCgov So the first variant was more deadly than this one, but children didn't seem to be effected. Now, however, this supposedly less deadly variant is suddenly worse for kids? 🤔🤔
@CDCgov Then maybe we should be advising people to stay home and stop spreading the highly infection disease so we can protect all those who cannot get vaccinated and you should be using your position to pressure Congress and Biden if they disagree with that.
