Significance of inoculation
As of February 4th year of Reiwa, new coronavirus infections in children (5 to 11 years old) in Japan are newly infected due to the epidemic of the Omicron strain, although the proportion of moderate and severe cases is small. It has been reported that the number of cases leading to severe illness is increasing and the proportion of children in the total number of infected people is increasing.
In addition, it is said that children with underlying diseases are at increased risk of becoming severe due to infection with the new coronavirus.
