Davenport, IA – According to the health officials, that’s because older patients were prioritized in vaccine rollouts, so less of them are being hospitalized.
While the proportion of younger patients in the hospital is higher, the absolute number of younger patients in the hospital is pretty stable.
The shift to younger hospitalization is more relative than real.
The officials urge those vaccinated and unvaccinated to continue wearing masks, washing their hands, and keeping their distance.
