The researchers also studied a rare infection that can result in heart problems fromthe childs immune response to the virus. This is a severe complication as a result of the immune response to COVID-19 infection, and the number of these patients is growing, and, as in adults with these very serious systemic complications, the heart seems to be the favorite organ targeted by post-COVID-19 immune response. She said the immune response complication should factor into vaccine production strategy. The researchers recommend wearing masks, social distancing, hand washing, a combination of in-person and remote learning and frequent testing if returning to school in the fall.
