Children might be more susceptible to common illnesses this winter because of 'immunity debt' built up during Covid lockdown, Welsh government scientists say

Dr Orford, the Welsh government's chief scientific adviser for health, spoke at a meeting of the Senedd's health committee.

Members of the Senedd were told children were much less likely to get seriously ill with coronavirus or to develop long Covid. She added: "We are also aware that there is a harm that builds up from not being able to have social interaction that leads to the development of barrier immunity from exposure to other infection diseases."Advisers are concerned about how Covid might interact with other illnesses like flu

There were "very high levels of community transmission" of coronavirus, but that was "much less" harmful than in the first and second waves because of the vaccines.
