The COVID-19 pandemic is surging again with two children among severe cases, including a 1-year-old boy with suspected encephalitis in the ICU. Simultaneously, a summer influenza peak is observed, with an 8-year-old boy in Kaohsiung passing away just 4 days after showing symptoms. Health experts urge high-risk groups to get vaccinated. As cases spike, the CDC forecasts a plateau in mid-July followed by a slow decline. With young children experiencing severe symptoms, precautions like vaccination and hospital protocols are emphasized to combat the dual threat of COVID-19 and influenza.
