Vaccinated and unvaccinated children aged 5 to 11 years were about equally likely to test positive for COVID-19, according to the past several weeks of data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The rate of COVID-19 cases detected in children aged 5 to 11 was about 122 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated and over 131 per 100,000 for the vaccinated during the week that ended Feb. 19. In the prior week, the rate was 248 and 244 for the unvaccinated and vaccinated, respectively.
