Nearly 90% of babies hospitalized with COVID-19 had mothers who were unvaccinated during pregnancy, highlighting the importance of vaccination for preventing severe infant illness.
Of the 1,470 infants hospitalized, 1 in 5 required intensive care and nearly 1 in 20 needed a ventilator, emphasizing that healthy newborns can face severe COVID risks.
