The curve of pediatric hospitalizations for Covid dates back to the week 22-29 March, registering an increase of 23%. This is what emerges from the data of pediatric hospitals and pediatric wards belonging to the “Fiaso” sentinel network.
In the March 22 survey, the curve had dropped by 6%, while in the March 15 report it had grown by 48%. The "continuously fluctuating data recorded over the weeks in pediatrics - specifies Fiaso - does not allow for appropriate assessments of the trends". For 15 days, small patients of Ukrainian origin have also been present in the Covid wards of pediatric hospitals.
The age group most affected, according to the Federation of Healthcare and Hospitals Fiaso, is, as always, the one between 0 and 4 years (53%). 30%, on the other hand, are between 5 and 11 years old.
The vaccination protection offered by parents to very small children improves: among the cases of hospitalized newborns, 73% have both parents vaccinated while 27% have both mother and father or one of the two parents no vax.
