U.S. adolescents vaccinated against COVID-19
[Overseas Network]According to US media reports, with the approach of the school season in 2021, a cluster of COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred in summer camps for children in many parts of the United States, and the prospects for schools to conduct offline courses are worrying. Some experts have warned that the summer camp infection may be a “rehearsal” of the epidemic in the beginning of the school season.
CBS News reported on the 29th that a mass infection had recently occurred in the Pontiac summer camp in Columbia County, New York. As of the 28th, 31 people had been diagnosed, all of whom were 7 to 11-year-old children who had not been vaccinated. Local health official Jack Mabu said frankly: “We have not seen this situation.”
In North Carolina, another summer camp mass infection has resulted in 75 people being diagnosed, from 17 states in the United States. “No matter whether it is a mutant or not, no matter what people do, the new crown virus can be transmitted to the summer camp.” Mabu said, “I think this indicates what will happen in the next school season.”
Health experts and school officials said that the new school year is in a dilemma. If the school bus is allowed to fully comply with the isolation distance regulations, there will be no guarantee that all students will be able to return to school, and as the summer draws to a close, people’s worries will only increase.
