In this episode of Still Here: Contributing writer Simon Spichak discusses what experts say are Canada's "contradictory" and "concerning" latest guidelines for Long COVID, the CAN-PCC.
Plus, in research, we talk about a new study group to test the monoclonal antibody Pemgarda for Long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome, as well as a new study from Taiwan that found 14% of children developed Long COVID after being infected with SARS-CoV-2.
