Pandemic takes toll on U.S. children’s physical and mental health

Dallas, January 26 (RHC)-- The pandemic is continuing to take a severe toll on children and young people.  A new report finds one in six households in the U.S. with children have not been getting enough to eat.  School closures have also meant many young people are not getting essential mental and emotional support from teachers and therapists.

In Nevada, a surge in student suicides has led officials in Las Vegas to move toward reopening schools, even with the risk of staff and students becoming infected with COVID-19.

In the U.S. state of Texas, Dallas County has reversed a plan to prioritize vaccinating people in its hardest-hit areas, largely communities of color, after state authorities threatened to cut their supply, saying it did not meet official distribution guidelines.
