The author of a new study discussed the damaging impacts for “long Covid” patients, people whose symptoms last months after initially becoming infected.

“Our work and the work of others has shown that this affects people’s abilities to make plans, synthesize information, and do their daily activities of work,” said David Putrino, the Director of Rehabilitation Innovation at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. “They suffer from a lot of memory loss and inability to form new memories, as well as difficulty with speaking. This is a very debilitating condition with serious cognitive conditions.”

In Putrino’s study researchers examined how long Covid can affect people’s ability to work, and they found nearly half of all “long-haulers” surveyed said they were not able to return to full employment. The study also found that nearly two-thirds of long-term Covid patients report “brain fog,” which includes memory loss.

Putrino underscored to CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith” that long Covid is a “very real problem,” and that more attention needs to be paid to providing long-term care to impacted patients.

“It is affecting people of all ages and it doesn’t seem to discriminate on who it’s going to strike down after an acute event,” said Putrino. “We need to organize, and we need to start getting government groups involved in providing long-term care for patients who have been sick over a year now with no real end in sight.”

“We know millions of parents who’ve been waiting for a Covid-19 vaccine for kids in this age group and should the FDA and CDC authorized the vaccine, we will be ready to get shots in arms,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters during a briefing Wednesday.

Zients said 15 million doses will be ready to ship within a week after it’s authorized, with millions of additional shots coming each week thereafter. Health providers can store the vaccines for 10 weeks under normal refrigeration, or for up to six months in ultracold temperatures, officials said.

Many parents say they are anxious to get their children vaccinated with the new school year kicking off while the delta variant is still spreading across America. Over the past week, there were about 131,000 new child Covid cases, with more than 1.1 million kids cases added over the past six weeks, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

More than 25,000 pediatricians’ offices and tens of thousands of pharmacies nationwide will provide vaccines for the rollout to younger age groups. The administration is also working with the Children’s Hospital Association to create vaccination sites at more than 100 pediatric hospital systems by November.

The White House started laying the groundwork with states earlier this month, asking governors to enroll pediatricians and other providers in vaccination programs so they could start administering shots as soon as they were ready.

“In the era of delta, children get infected as readily as adults do, and they transmit the infection as readily as the adults do.” White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci told reporters Wednesday, citing new data published in the JAMA Pediatrics. “We may not appreciate that, because about 50% of the infections in children are asymptomatic.”

Pfizer has asked federal regulators to authorize a two-dose regimen of 10 micrograms — a third of the dosage used for teens and adults. The company is providing 10-dose vaccine vials in cartons of 10 vials each, giving doctors’ offices and community health groups 100 total doses per package.

“Kids have different needs than adults, and our operational planning is geared to meet those specific needs, including by offering vaccinations and settings that parents and kids are familiar with,” Zients said.
