In recent weeks, COVID-19 cases in Kentucky have continued to decline, but a new subvariant of COVID-19 has been found in the commonwealth. Regardless of the variant, Dr. Kristina Bryant wants parents to understand that unvaccinated children are at risk of severe illness.
Bryant is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Norton Children’s hospital. She said COVID-19 infections in kids can lead to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which can be life threatening.
