Rise in Covid jab rates may protect children against asthma attacks, study finds

Higher inoculation rates could make it less likely viruses will spread, thereby reducing risk to asthmatic children

Higher Covid vaccination rates could help protect children against asthma attacks, according to research.

While previous studies show that vaccination helps prevent Covid 19 illness, the authors believe this is the first study to assess whether Covid inoculation is associated with reductions in children's asthma symptoms, by preventing viral illness in children with asthma.
