Distrust, misinformation and delays because of the holidays and bad weather have combined to produce what authorities say are alarmingly low COVID-19 vaccination rates in U.S. children ages 5 to 11.
As of Tuesday, just over 17% were fully vaccinated, more than two months after shots became available to the age group. While Vermont is at 48%, California is just shy of 19% and Mississippi is at only 5%.
The low rates are “very disturbing,” said Dr. Robert Murphy, executive director for the Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. “It’s just amazing.”
Parents who hesitate “are taking an enormous risk and continuing to fuel the pandemic,” Murphy said.
Hospitalizations of children under 18 with COVID-19 in the U.S. have climbed to their highest levels on record in the past few weeks. Many have other conditions made worse by COVID-19, though many aren’t sick enough to require intensive care.
The low vaccination rates and rising hospitalizations are “a gut punch, especially when we’ve been working so hard to keep these kids well,” said Dr. Natasha Burgert, a pediatrician in Overland Park, Kansas.

Why if parents do nothing, the number of kids needing hospitalization would actually be lower.
Can't pass up that $13,000 a pop for a fake positive test in otherwise healthy kids.
Isn’t covid harmless to 99.99% of children under the age of 12?
Parents who hesitate “are taking an enormous risk and continuing to fuel the pandemic,” Murphy said.
I dont give a rats ass about fueling anything. I aint giving my kids any experimental drugs conjured up by evil people.
I’ll take my chances with COVID thanks.
I think most of this is BS, but here’s a big tip for parents.
Get your fat ass kids to eat right and play outside.
Make them play sports.
Parents should reconsider this “vaxx”. People can survive CONvid (especially kids) you can NOT get unvaxxed.
😨😷🔬💉🐂💨💩💸
CV19 vaccines are Darwinism in action.
The gene pool is being filtered.
Where did Natasha get her degree? A correspondence school? Only a maroon would want to inject a child with this poison. Un-injected children have much more risk from the injection than from the CCPvirus. That is the actual data.
Its becoming increasingly clear that kids face a risk 5X higher from vaccines than they do from covid itself.
The democrats are so unhappy that child deaths are not as high as they hoped.
A gut punch? It isn’t about health or immunity to covid, it’s about whether we believe and trust them. It hurts their feelings that people don’t trust them.
The low rates are “very disturbing,” said Dr. Robert Murphy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is disturbing is pushing these shots on kids.
They don’t need them and the shots are killing some of them.
And get those damned masks off of kids faces and make them breathe some fresh air for a change
Perpetuating this now completely debunked and detestable lie.
It is likely the vaccinated who are prolonging the pandemic. Statistically there is absolutely NO Covid risk to children. You can just see the fear porn this guys continues to try and float to get parents to knuckle under. Parents aren't stupid, they see the deaths and injuries this stupid vaccine elixir is causing.
Not that I'd believe the numbers since the "authorities" had even claimed 90% for adults in some countries only to lower it to 60% (the actual number likely being far lower than what they show).
We remain “NON GMO” !
😨😷🔬💉🐂💨💩💸
This virus is not going away. Why deny kids a chance at life long natural immunity when the disease has the least chance of harming them?
It’s alarming that you’re even considering vaxxing kids five to 11, and it’s doubly alarming that you find it alarming that they aren’t all vaxxed. What is wrong with you f#$ing media idiots? Do you think vaccines are the Sacrament? Do you think getting jabbed is Communion? Insane!
