Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Health, said the delta variant, while it is "certainly more contagious," doesn't appear to be more dangerous to children than other variants.

Versalovic also said, "We have no firm evidence that the disease severity in children and adolescents is any different with the delta variant."
