ABSTRACT
While the Ministry of Health of Brazil postpones the inclusion of children aged 5-12 years in the National Immunization Plan against COVID-19, current evidence highlights that the number of hospitalizations and deaths caused by COVID-19 in the pediatric population, of in general, including the group of children aged 5-11 years, it is not within acceptable levels. Unfortunately, child mortality and fatality rates in Brazil are among the highest in the world. In 2020, there were 1203 deaths from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SRAG). In 2021, there were 2293. Also 65 deaths were reported from Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (P-SIM); an aggressive manifestation of the virus in children.
