Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Update (29 Jan 2021)

Seán Crowe: I am afraid we have come to the end of the session.

Covid-19 (Social Protection): Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Seán Crowe: The long-term health effect of Covid, so-called long Covid, has yet to be determined. Initial indications are that the lifelong impact of the virus may be severe.
