COVID transmission and kids: much ado about very little

Incidence and Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in US Child Care Centers After COVID-19 Vaccines; JAMA Network Open, Oct 24, 2023.

A study in JAMA Network Open confirmed what was evident since at least early 2022: COVID-19 transmission from children in daycare to caregivers or family members is low.

The team of researchers, led by pediatrician Dr. Timothy Shope from the University of Pittsburgh, analyzed COVID-19 incidence and transmission data from 1,154 kids and 402 childcare providers at 11 childcare centers.
