Fully vaccinated people are less likely to have “long COVID” symptoms: study-nationwide

Fully vaccinated people with breakthrough infections Coronavirus disease A new study shows that compared with people who have not been vaccinated, the probability of suffering from “long-term COVID” is 50% lower.

The report was published by the researchers in The Lancet Journal of Infectious Diseases On Wednesday, people who were found to have received two full doses of the vaccine but still found themselves infected with the new coronavirus had their chance of experiencing long-term symptoms halved.

Many patients who have contracted COVID-19 and survived can usually recover in just a few weeks-although some patients have painful long-term symptoms due to the virus.

Long-term symptoms include multiple effects such as fatigue, pain, dyspnea, high blood pressure, and cognitive problems 28 days or more after testing positive for the virus, which many people describe as “brain fog.”

“In terms of the long-term burden of COVID, the good news is that our research has found that dual vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of contracting the virus. If you do this, you will have long-term symptoms,” said Dr. Claire Stevens. The main author of the study is in the press release.

“However, among us in the frail, the elderly and those living in poverty-stricken areas, the risk is still high, and we should give priority to the second and booster vaccination as an urgent priority.”

The study is based on data from more than 1.2 million adults surveyed in the Covid Symptom Study in the United Kingdom, which allows volunteers to manually log symptoms and vaccination records using a mobile application.

Participants also included people who had received a dose of Pfizer, Moderna, or AstraZeneca between December and July, as well as several unvaccinated people who served as a control group.

A sort of White paper research A non-peer-reviewed study published in June found that nearly a quarter of COVID-19 patients reported a new health problem long after the illness recovered, and a recent review of data from the Public Health Agency of Canada also pointed out that more than Half of COVID-19 patients develop long-term symptoms within 12 weeks of testing positive.

To date, more than 1.45 million Canadians have contracted the disease and survived.

this Canada has the potential for a large number of COVID-19 “long-distance transporters” Being alone has become a worrying issue, and many people still feel symptoms, saying they are breaking away from the cracks in private and workplace insurance.

Other notable results of the study include showing that people who are fully vaccinated are more than 70% less likely to be hospitalized, and that they are less likely to develop acute COVID-19 symptoms by 31%.

Professor Tim Spector from King’s College London also participated in the study. He pointed out that vaccination “substantially” reduces people’s chances of experiencing long-term COVID in two ways.​​

“First, by reducing the risk of any symptom by 8 to 10 times, then the chance of any infection becoming a long COVID is halved (if it does occur). The duration of the infection symptoms we have seen after two vaccinations is also longer. Light, so the vaccine is really changing the disease and making it better,” he said.

“We encourage people to make a second jab as soon as possible.”
