Abstract
A saving grace of the COVID-19 pandemic in high-income
and upper middle-income countries has been the relative sparing of children. As the disease spreads across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), long-standing
system vulnerabilities
may tragically manifest, and we worry
that children will be increasingly impacted,
both directly and indirectly. Drawing on our
shared child pneumonia experience globally,
we highlight these potential impacts on
children in LMICs and propose actions for a
collective response.
