An analysis of CDC data tracked U.S. children hospitalized with the flu late in the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the article, the use of antiviral drugs against influenza among these hospitalized children has decreased compared to previous periods. In a set of 1,560 children hospitalized with influenza, the proportion treated with antivirals ranged between 48.3% and 56.8%. The article states that these are children hospitalized for the flu, not for COVID-19. The data comes from an analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The main finding is a decrease in the use of antivirals against influenza in hospitalized children during the later phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article does not provide detailed reasons for this decline or a detailed breakdown by age or other risk factors.
