Last weekend, three children were admitted to the AZ Voorkempen hospital with MIS-C syndrome. In MIS-C, the immune system mistakenly starts attacking healthy cells instead of the coronavirus. This can affect multiple organs in the body. Children sometimes need a ventilator and in rare cases there is a risk of permanent damage. Infection expert Patrick Smits emphasizes the importance of vaccinating children.
