One does wonder about a certain infectious disease that has been rampaging through primary schools for months, with vaccines only available for this age slot as of a few days ago.
The link just mentions cases in England but there are also some cases in Scotland.
Hepatic dysfunction secondary to covid has been reported in adult populations, but it’s rare. Looks like the same holds for children, sadly, even with asymptomatic covid. Viral hepatitis is most commonly associated with Hep B and it’s one of the reasons why the Hep B vaccine is so important. I wonder if any of these children had had the covid vaccine?
