Liputan6.com, Jakarta Head of the Task Force (Satgas) COVID-19 The Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) Yogi Prawira said that reinfection and long COVID is already happening to children.
“Reinfection (reinfection) has been frankly reported to include infections in people who have been vaccinated. So, even if you have been infected and vaccinated before, the protocol should not be negligent,” Yogi said at the IDAI online seminar, Sunday (27/2/022).
“A number of children have been reported to have reinfection,” he added.
Meanwhile, related long COVID-19 or symptoms that occur after being declared negative, initially people thought that post-COVID-19 symptoms were only experienced by adults. Though, over time there have been reports long COVID in children.
“Currently research is being carried out in Indonesia on long COVID. More than 12 weeks after COVID infection there are some children who report non-specific symptoms.”
