Kids sick with Covid are filling up children's hospitals in areas seeing spikes
As kids across the country prepare to go back to school, health experts are warning of a “perfect storm” if masks are not required in the classroom while the delta variant spreads. NBC News’ Heidi Przybyla and Catie Beck explain how the Biden Administration is pushing for more kids to get the vaccine and how schools are preparing for possible outbreaks.
Multiple doctors in the half-dozen children’s hospitals NBC News reached out to said they have seen children infected because a member of their household, often a parent, brings the coronavirus home. Oftentimes, it is because an adult in the home is unvaccinated.
