Omicron cases in infants under one year of age are almost seven times more likely to lead to hospitalization.
Pediatric hospitals across Canada are coping with record high number of children being admitted in the wake of the Omicron wave sweeping the country.
According to experts, kids under five are more likely to be hospitalized compared to other age groups since they are not eligible for vaccines yet, and may experience symptoms that are different from those found in adults.
