刚刚看到的新闻，没空整篇翻译，我抓了几个重点：（强烈建议请大家去原文认真阅读、自行理解，不要被我主观解读误导，谢谢）
悉尼儿童医院联盟的数据（这是上年delta变种的情况，医生估计omicron 变种的影响会更轻）
1、总体来说，儿童重症率很低。即使入院治疗也很快康复。
Preliminary data recently released by researchers at the Sydney Children's Hospital Network found that during last year's Delta outbreak in NSW, one in five children under the age of 16 had no symptoms at all.
Of the more than 17,400 children infected with COVID-19 between June and October in NSW, 1.26 per cent were admitted to hospital for medical reasons. Of those, 93 per cent did not require oxygen support.
"We know that when kids have been admitted to hospital, the average length of stay is about two days," said Dr Bowen.
2、儿童感染omicron 变种的一些数据显示新变种的入院率比delta低40%左右
Other preliminary data published by US scientists earlier this month shows that since the arrival of Omicron, the risk of hospitalisation in children under the age of five has fallen to one third of what it was during the peak of Delta.
Researchers observed a similar reduction in the risk of severe illness in children aged 5-11 and 12-17, according to paediatrician Margie Danchin from the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
"What they've shown across all the age groups is that kids are about 50 to 60 per cent less likely to be admitted to hospital with Omicron compared to Delta," said Dr Danchin, who is also a vaccine researcher at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.
"Having said that, the data only goes up to December 24 and this is an evolving situation, so we need to watch it really closely."
3、预测儿童入院人数会增加（因为omicron 传染速度太快，感染儿童的总体人数增加了），但儿科医院暂无挤兑风险
While Omicron causes less severe disease on average, it also spreads much faster than any other variant. As a result, more people, including children, are becoming infected. However, both Dr Bowen and Dr Danchin stressed there was no sign that paediatric hospitalisations in Australia had increased substantially.
Overseas, hospital admission rates of children and teens have risen in recent weeks, but remain lower than that of any other age group.
The increase is likely to be explained, at least in part, by the sheer contagiousness of the Omicron variant, with more children becoming infected overall.
But experts say the rise may also be due to more children being admitted to hospital for other reasons and then incidentally testing positive for COVID-19 during routine screening.
Dr Danchin said it was also important to recognise that sometimes children were admitted to hospital for non-medical reasons, such as having family members who were too unwell to care for them.
4、低于五岁幼童的情况
In the United States, data shows hospital admissions of children aged under five years has doubled since mid-December — a jump that hasn't been seen in other younger age groups. A similar trend has been observed in the UK.
But she noted there was no evidence of any increased severity associated with Omicron in children under five.Dr Danchin said doctors were more likely to admit very young children with viral infections out of caution, to ensure they were feeding well and properly hydrated.
5、儿童接种的建议（有基础病和基因病的儿童应该接种，普通儿童一针足够了）
Current evidence suggests children with complex genetic, neurological or metabolic conditions, as well as those with heart or lung disease, are at increased risk of severe COVID-19. And similar to adults, children with obesity, diabetes or severe asthma may also be at increased risk.
For the majority of children, Professor Booy said one vaccine dose was likely to offer "very high levels of protection". "If we're wanting to make the best use of appointments at the moment, it's to get as many children their first jab as possible."
6、大家最关心的多系统炎症对儿童的影响
About one in 3,000 children get multi-system inflammatory syndrome, which kicks in two to three weeks after COVID," Professor Booy said."Most children recover from that, but there are rare cases of death. "[Research] shows that if you're vaccinated, there is 90 per cent protection against it."
