"Getting Covid-19 repeatedly puts people at risk of serious health damage, a
public health expert is warning as the ninth wave of Covid-19 sweeps Aotearoa.
Leading vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris says there's not enough awareness
of the impact of Covid-19 on overall health.
"What many people don't realise is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like
building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage," she says.
"Each infection raises your risk of long Covid and serious complications."
It's been six years since New Zealand saw the rise of Covid-19, but experts
suggest the country's collective immunity is waning. Wastewater analysis from
PHF Science shows that the number of cases currently at its highest rate for
more than six months and the latest Health New Zealand figures show there have
been 50 hospitalisations and 19 deaths with the virus in the past week.
So, why are cases increasing and what can be done to reduce the risk?"
