Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion

Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

We do not have that data immediately to hand but as I said to Deputy Hourigan, when we have the HIQA study we will at least have a slightly better sense of that. The advice we have had from our paediatric colleges, which we work very closely with, is that a very small number of children suffer from either post-viral illness or long Covid. That said, the Deputy is right that we have all been approached by somebody whose child has been unwell but they are very small numbers from what we are of.
