A research letter published on Oct. 23 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics has found that children given the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine and those who were unvaccinated both shed the virus for at least three days.
The results of the research led the scientists to suggest that school policies requiring students with COVID-19 to stay at home for five days are appropriate.
But while all the unvaccinated children in the study were clear of the virus by day six, 10 of the 52 vaccinated children (19 percent) took double the time to be virus-free. Three subjects (about six percent) were still infectious on day 10, a period that is three times longer than the reported median.
How long the children remained contagious after a COVID-19 diagnosis remains a discussion topic, despite global data confirming that children overwhelmingly survive infection.
Another study also revealed that children rarely transmit the virus to adults, which is unsurprising because a 2021 study found that, compared with swabs from adults, the nose/throat swabs from infected children were only half as likely to contain a virus capable of causing illness...<<<Read More>>>....
