A new study of Long-Covid shows the virus can cause a wide range of debilitating side-effects and even life-threatening conditions that could have serious implications for the entire health system.
Fourteen specialists and scientists co-authored the report and are calling for the government to step up and intervene - starting with a plan to deal with Covid that includes offering vaccinations to children.
The lead author is associate professor Amanda Kvalsvig from Otago University.
Kvalsvig spoke to Corin Dann.
