Resonated• COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy protect infants against severe illness after being born.

A case control study recently assessed the effectiveness of two-dose mRNA COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy against COVID-19 hospitalization among infants 6 months of age or younger. Data were collected from July 2021 through January 2022, during periods of both Delta and Omicron variant predominance.

Case-infants were hospitalized with COVID-19 as the primary reason for admission or had clinical symptoms consistent with acute COVID-19, and case-infants had a positive PCR or antigen test result.

Maternal COVID-19 vaccination status during pregnancy was critical in determining outcomes of infants.

Maternal vaccination status was categorized as 1) unvaccinated (mothers who did not receive COVID-19 vaccine before their infants’ hospitalization) or 2) vaccinated (mothers who completed their 2-dose primary mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine series during pregnancy ≥14 days before delivery).

Among case-infants, 43 (24%) were admitted to an ICU. A total of 25 (15%) case-infants were critically ill and received life support during hospitalization, including mechanical ventilation, vasoactive infusions, or ECMO; among these critically ill infants, one (0.4%) died. Of the 43 case-infants admitted to an ICU, 88% had mothers who were unvaccinated. The mothers of the one case-infant who required ECMO and one case-infant who died were both unvaccinated.

RePosted• Holidays looked a little different this year than last, with the availability of vaccines, boosters, and new treatment options for COVID-19. However, particularly with the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, we still recommended caution, including taking rapid antigen tests JUST before your holiday gatherings (and of course, if you tested positive, to not attend those).

So, if you did have a holiday gathering, and everyone rapid tested negative, is there anything you should do now? That answer is YES.

First, absolutely get tested in the coming days. While previous variants had incubation periods of 5-7 days (sometimes as long as 14 days), the Omicron variant appears to have a much shorter incubation period. This means you can become contagious much faster than before, and can also mean a rapid negative test in the morning might not mean a rapid negative test in the afternoon of the same day.

Test within 2-4 days of your gathering. Even if all the attendees tested negative using rapid tests, you should test. If you recall, rapid tests provide an instantaneous picture of the time you took the test. It cannot identify infected people who did not have quite enough viral load at that moment in time. The estimated incubation period of Omicron is about 3 days, so testing within that window will provide an extra layer of precaution. This is particularly important now, when case numbers are rising exponentially, and hospitals are already overwhelmed.

In addition, you need to take extra precautions around others until those test results come back. If you can quarantine for 7 days, do so. If you can’t, and you absolutely need to interact with others in public, you need to be wearing the best quality masks available; N95, KN95, or KF94s. No exceptions.

If you do test positive or develop symptoms, you need to isolate for 10 days.

Let’s all do our part to try and contain the spread of COVID-19 as much as we can.

When people ask me why I choose Pediatrics• Repost: .risahoshino Who’s cutting onions??? 😭😭😭⁣
⁣
Kids can teach us adults a thing or two about caring for others. Children realize the huge contribution they are making to society. They understand their responsibility to protect vulnerable people. They want to peotect themselves from this horrible virus. They want to positively impact the world. They just GET it.
⁣
These kids are my HEROES. Thanks to their amazing caregivers and parents for bringing up such wonderful humans. I love being a pediatrician so much 😍😍😍🥺🥺🥺.⁣

Repost -New CDC guidance has led to the removal of mask mandates around the country. In the US, localities are relying on the honor system; people who are fully vaccinated can remove their masks indoors, whereas unvaccinated people should continue to wear masks.

As a result of concerns that unvaccinated people will not wear masks, parents have questions about how to protect their children who are both too young to be vaccinated and to wear masks.

While masks are the most effective measure to prevent COVID-19 after vaccinations, they are not recommended for kids younger than 2 years. However, there are things that parents can do to protect their kiddos.

While severe COVID-19 is less common in children, 4 million children have been diagnosed & 200,000 have been hospitalized with COVID-19. Children can also transmit the virus to older, more vulnerable people.

First, parents and older family members should get vaccinated to protect themselves and others, especially kids too young to get vaccinated.

Monitoring local rates of COVID-19 is a good idea. If there's a local outbreak or if cases are on the rise, it's a good idea to avoid bringing young children to public places.

Being indoors is safe as long as all of the people in the room are fully vaccinated. If you’re in a situation where there are unvaccinated people, you should use your discretion. Can you minimize risk by opening windows, physically distancing, or ensuring unvaccinated people wear masks?

If your child is high-risk or immunocompromised, it is best to avoid any indoor activities with unvaccinated people and stick to the outdoors where risk decreases significantly.

What about air travel with an infant or toddler? While most airlines require mask use (for anyone over the age of 2) for the duration of a flight, people remove their masks if they are eating or drinking. Everyone has a different risk threshold. While some would not feel comfortable with this, others might accept the risk and choose to travel.
To err on the side of caution, the CDC still recommends that people avoid non-essential travel. As more and more people get vaccinated, the risk will continue to decline.
