At about 2,000 hospitalizations per million among healthy 12-39 year olds (depending on what % of the population has pre-existing conditions) over just a 4-month period, I don't know that I'd put it as "not so different" than the 15 extra myocarditis cases per million from 2 doses of Pfizer (which was the recommended vaccine for younger people). The hospitalization risk is about 130x higher based on that data.
I appreciate this clarification but I couldn’t find any more recent data in Alberta. How’re hospitalizations from COVID in these age groups since 2023?
