The R value greater than 1 means that the numbers of cases are growing rapidly and clearly this variant is more contagious than the previous one. More over this wave is affecting children across the country.
Materials and Methods: The data for this review were obtained from studies pertaining to clinical features, epidemiological and immunization trends in children obtained from various journals.
