Abstract
Children, because of having an immature immune system, are usually more prone than the adults to the microbial infections and have more severe symptoms, which is especially true for the newborns, and very young
children. However, the review of clinical data from the current COVID-19 pandemic indicates otherwise. We
discuss here what are the main features and components of children's immune system, the role of maternal
transmission of immunity, and what are the possible explanations for the seemingly lower infection rate and
severity of COVI-19 in children.
