COVID-19 in the U.S. is definitely not what it once was, but there are still changes in vaccines and research are still not fully understood.
In the U.S., things have gotten somewhat better since the beginning of the year.
Some scientists disagree and think that Omicron will be old news come fall. The other option is to create a vaccine that would target the two subvariants of Omicron, BA.4 and BA.5, since they account for more than a third of infections in the U.S. And even two years into the pandemic, we're still working to understand more about the effects of long COVID.
Researchers say while the chances of kids experiencing long COVID seem to be low, it still must be recognized and treated seriously. It’s still unclear how many kids have it since there isn’t enough research. It’s estimated that anywhere from 20 to 30% of all COVID infections lead to long COVID and experts say studies like these help add to the limited research.
In Washington for example, about 10% of patients currently in hospital beds no longer need hospital care.
