Long COVID in kids and the hope of a children's vaccine

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Omar Mosleh, Toronto Star reporter The medical community is only beginning to understand long COVID, the debilitating and often mysterious symptoms so-called "long hauler" patients face that can last for months after they've fought the virus. Even less is known about long COVID in children, flipping the misconception that the worst of the illness only impacts adults and seniors. To date, only people 12 years of age and older have been approved by Health Canada to receive a COVID vaccine in Canada. The children and families affected with long-haul symptoms are speaking out about how their lives have been turned upside down, and now the questions and calculations they're making with an approved COVID vaccine for children in the works.
