Children with poorly controlled asthma are three to six times more likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19 than those without the condition, research suggests.

Experts advise that 5 to 17 year olds with poorly controlled asthma should be considered for vaccination to reduce the risk of infection and the spread of Covid-19 in schools and households.
