Beginning December 14, children ages 5-11 will be included in the city\u2019s Key to NYC vaccine passport program, which requires certain businesses \u2014 indoor restaurants, fitness centers, and entertainment venues \u2014 to discriminate against unvaccinated individuals.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe need to see kids getting vaccinated in that age group. Parents, we need you to step up for the good of your children, your family, all of us. Go get your child vaccinated. So we\u2019re going to include them in the Key to NYC Pass,\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, public health officials made a similar call, urging parents to get their children vaccinated with the rise of the Omicron variant. However, Dr. Antony Fauci admitted they did not yet have data showing vaccines to be effective against the variant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVaccines clearly remain our most important tool, and the doctors\u2019 message is crystal clear: If you are fully vaccinated before June, it\u2019s time for you to go get your booster.&nbsp; If you\u2019re unvaccinated, go get your first shot today,\u201d&nbsp;White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/press-briefings\/2021\/12\/03\/press-briefing-by-white-house-covid-19-response-team-and-public-health-officials-71\/\">said<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd if your kids are five years or older and not yet vaccinated, get them the protection of the vaccine as well,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the widespread push from Biden administration officials and blue state leaders, data shows the virus does not carry a significant risk among children.<\/p>\n<p>According to AAP data, last <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/pages\/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19-infections\/children-and-covid-19-state-level-data-report\/\">updated<\/a> on Thanksgiving, children represent&nbsp;17 percent of all coronavirus cases, and very few of those cases end up hospitalized.<\/p>\n<p>In the 24 states, plus New York City, reporting, less than two percent \u2014&nbsp;0.1 percent- 1.9 percent, specifically \u2014 of all child coronavirus cases resulted in hospitalization. Further, in 45 states reporting, as well as New York City, Guam, and Puerto Rico, children comprised \u201c0.00%-0.24% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 6 states reported zero child deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u200bIn states reporting, 0.00%-0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death,\u201d according to the AAP.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18489498\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"37\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18489498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GettyImages-1191447041.png\" alt=\"New York Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks to the media during a press conference at City Hall on January 3, 2020 in New York City.
