BANGKOK, Jan 12 (TNA) – Hospital beds for Covid-positive pediatric patients remain available, said the director of the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, Dr. Adisai Pattatang.  

 

The infections among children and hospital bed occupancy of young Covid patients did not increase significantly, he said.

 

However, the number of pediatric patients with Covid-19 is likely to form a higher ratio as the children aged 5-11 years old are not vaccinated, he added.

It seems too much the coincidence that as soon as the MOPH approves giving vaccines to kids aged 5 to 11.. There is a sudden increase in covid cases for children here in Thailand. I am not saying they are connected because I do not want to have someone knocking on my door to collect tea money for saying false information... Just saying I noticed this increase in kids cases just after that announcement was made. Can anyone elaborate?
