[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The latest research in the United States pointed out that Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) has become the eighth leading cause of death among children in the United States. Researchers call for children to be vaccinated to improve their protection against the Wuhan pneumonia virus .

According to CNN, a study published in JAMA Network Open, a journal published by the American Medical Association, pointed out that Wuhan pneumonia has become the eighth leading cause of death among children in the United States.

Although children are less than 1% likely to die from Wuhan pneumonia compared with other age groups, it is still the eighth cause of death among children.

Sean O'Leary, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases, said: "Wuhan pneumonia affects the elderly and immunocompromised people more seriously, and children are less affected, but this does not mean that Wuhan pneumonia is a benign disease for children. ".

However, according to the US CDC data, the proportion of children in the United States who are vaccinated against pneumonia is lower than that of any age group.

Less than 10% of eligible children have received supplementary doses, and more than 90% of children under the age of 5 have not been vaccinated.

O'Leary believes that the benefits of childhood vaccination clearly outweigh any potential risks and calls for children to be vaccinated.

Wuhan pneumonia has killed "far more" than any vaccine-preventable disease in history and is currently the third leading cause of death for the overall population.
