Annual World Primary Immunodeficiency Week and Covid-19

health No Comments »

A primary immunodeficiency disorder compromises the immune system and prevents the body from fighting off any infection or disease. During this time of Covid-19 a strong immune system is key and those who suffer from any immunodeficiency disease could be at an increased risk. The Annual World Primary Immunodeficiency Week has this year been extended to 10 weeks from 22 April to the 1st of July to raise awareness for those living with any of these diseases. Professor Claudia Gray, Paediatric Allergy Specialist at Red Cross Children’s Hospital & UCT Lung Institute joins us this morning to tell us more about the link between PID and Covid-19.
