• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? COVID-19 can cause severe illness in children. Children aged 5-11 years became eligible for COVID-19 vaccination on November 2, 2021. What is added by this report? During the period of Omicron predominance (December 19, 2021-February 28, 2022), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates in children aged 5-11 years were approximately twice as high among unvaccinated as among vaccinated children. Non-Hispanic Black children represented the largest group of unvaccinated children. Thirty percent of hospitalized children had no underlying medical conditions, and 19% were admitted to an intensive care unit. Children with diabetes and obesity were more likely to experience severe COVID-19. What are the implications for public health practice? Increasing COVID-19 vaccination coverage among children aged 5-11 years, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups disproportionately affected by COVID-19, can prevent COVID-19-associated hospitalization and severe outcomes.
