grows exponentially!
At the beginning of the school year, Chinese students ushered in a new semester in a smooth and orderly manner.
htmlOn September 3, at the Meilan Lake Branch of Luodian Community Health Service Center, Baoshan District, Shanghai, a group of teenagers also ushered in a special "school opening ceremony" - getting the new crown vaccine.At present, the COVID-19 vaccination work for people aged 12-17 in my country is progressing in an orderly manner. 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported a total of more than 60 million doses of vaccination.
As of 0:00 on September 4, 2021, there are only 4 medium-risk areas left in the country, and there are currently no high-risk areas. Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission of China and deputy director of the Publicity Department, said in Beijing on August 27 that China's current round of epidemic has been effectively controlled.
Starting from 20:00 on September 1, Shanghai will start registration and appointment for vaccination for people aged 12-14.
However, in the United States, according to the latest report released by the American Academy of Pediatrics recently, in the week ending August 26, about 204,000 children in the United States were confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus, accounting for 22.4% of the confirmed cases of new coronavirus reported in the United States in the week.
report shows that as of August 26, the United States has had nearly 4.8 million confirmed children, and the number of children accounts for 14.8% of the cumulative confirmed cases in the United States.
has world-class medical resources and medical level, but the United States has delivered such a "failed" epidemic prevention and control answer, which really shocked the international community.
The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that in areas where the COVID-19 vaccination rate is lower than the average, the number of hospitalizations for children with COVID-19 has increased significantly, and the proportion of hospitalizations for children with COVID-19 is still increasing.
In response to this, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that this is mainly because the targets for the new crown vaccine are limited to people aged 12 and above.

The number of confirmed cases of children in the United States has increased exponentially
The American Academy of Pediatrics reported that this is the second consecutive week that the number of confirmed cases of children in the United States reached the level when the number of new coronavirus cases surged last winter.
The number of new confirmed cases of children in the United States decreased in early summer this year, but then increased exponentially, from about 38,000 in the week ended July 22 to nearly 204,000 in the previous week.
In addition, the latest statistics released by Johns Hopkins University in the United States show that as of the evening of September 1, the United States has accumulated nearly 39.39 million confirmed cases of new crown and more than 642,000 deaths.
Shawn O'Leary, vice chairman of the Infectious Diseases Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said in a recent interview with the media that the number of new confirmed cases of children per week in August this year has approached its peak.
O'Leary stressed that the surge in the number of confirmed cases in children reflects the high infectivity of delta strain . As the epidemic continues to spread, more unvaccinated people may be infected with the new coronavirus.

American expert Fauci suggested compulsory school children to be vaccinated
CNN, US Today and other media have published several reports, revealing the crisis that American children suffer under the COVID-19 pandemic.
reported that in 2020, what made many American parents feel a little comforted by the COVID-19 pandemic is that the virus seems to have "freed" young people, especially children, whose symptoms are much less mild than those of adults, but the emergence of the Delta strain changed this situation in just a few months.
Health officials warn that the number of children in the United States who are hospitalized for the new coronavirus has increased sharply, and the pediatric hospitalization rate is on par with the peak of the pandemic.
Because of concerns about whether it will be safe for school children to return to school, health experts unanimously believe that wearing masks is an effective measure to prevent infection.
Currently, multiple states and school districts across the United States are implementing masks and vaccination regulations, while other states and school districts are restricting unvaccinated people from contact with the virus.
Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Fauci once said, "I think it's a good idea to mandate children to get vaccinated in schools," and pointed out that this is not a radical idea.
Starting from 20:00 on September 1, Shanghai will start registration and appointment for vaccination for people aged 12-14.
my country is steadily advancing the vaccination of 12-17-year-olds with the new crown vaccine

When the COVID-19 epidemic continues to be epidemic, it has become a consensus that vaccination with the new coronavirus vaccine can obtain corresponding immunity, thereby effectively reducing the risk of disease, severe illness and death.
At the same time, vaccination of children and adolescents with new coronavirus vaccine is of great significance to strengthening the population's immune barrier and blocking the epidemic of new coronavirus pneumonia.
According to the press conference of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, the inactivated new coronavirus vaccine produced by Sinopharm Group’s China Biologics Institute of Biology and Beijing Sinopharm China Sino-Wei Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has conducted relevant clinical trials on children and adolescents aged 3-17.
has been reviewed and proved that it is safe to use the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in people aged 3-17.
"Now whether it is to control the source of infection or cut off the transmission route, we see that in most countries, this disease is not under control." Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that in the future, it is expected to establish herd immunity . Children are also an indispensable part of establishing herd immunity through vaccination.
