Patients Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Less Likely To Develop Long COVID, Study Finds

The Hill (5/23, Irwin) reports, “A new study has found that patients vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus were less likely to experience symptoms of post-COVID condition, or long COVID.” In the study, published in Nature Communications, “researchers found that if individuals were vaccinated prior to contracting the infection, there was a reduced risk of long COVID outcomes and consequences from the virus, though the study found that vaccinated people had a slightly higher risk of mental illness over the study period.”
