Schwabach: Current Corona numbers are causing concern – what now?

Vaccination status and new guidelines

New recommendations from the American Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. caused confusion, especially regarding vaccination for children and pregnant women usatoday.com reported. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), health care professionals should decide on a case-by-case basis whether children ages 6 to 23 months receive the latest vaccine.

The most common COVID-19 symptoms include fever, cough, difficulty breathing and fatigue. Parents should seek urgent medical attention if symptoms are severe, such as shortness of breath or persistent chest pain.

The big picture in view

The most common COVID-19 variant in the US, the XFG variant, has already accounted for 78% of cases, indicating that attention should also be raised in Germany.
