Children with poorly controlled asthma should be prioritised for COVID-19 vaccination, study results suggest

摘要

Children aged over five years with poorly controlled asthma are at an increased risk of being hospitalised with COVID-19 and should be considered a priority for vaccination, a study published in Lancet Respiratory Medicine on 30 November 2021 has concluded (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(21)00491-4/fulltext) . The study’s authors have also estimated that more than 100,000 children across the UK could have benefitted from vaccination during the pandemic.
