Covid-19 has impacted on children’s health in ways that are more and more complicated than the clinical aspect only. If children have been less affected by Covid-19 itself, although not spared (Primary disease, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, Log Covid are only some examples), there are also other consequences of pandemic on their global health which have been deeply impacting. School closures, vaccination decline, nutrition insecurity, delays or cancellation of regular health services, including delayed access to surgery, delays in screening or follow-up programs, but also limitations to the presence of families in hospitals during the process of care are some examples of these consequences.
With this Research Topic we aim to unveil the multitude of aspects in which children’s health has been worsened by the current pandemic and discuss strategies to improve it.
This article collection welcomes research on, but not limited to:
- Clinical aspects of Covid-19 infection in children
- Clinical picture, mechanisms, and impact of Long Covid in pediatric age
- Pros and Cons of Covid vaccination in pediatric healthy populations
- Policy-and community-level interventions to mitigate the effects on children’s health of measure instituted to counteract the virus spread
- All the different ways in which the global care of children has been affected
