Those who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus are less likely to be affected by a COVID-19 dragged on. This, according to a study by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
The research reviewed 15 national and international studies on the effects of the long duration of COVID-19.
Vaccinated less likely to develop symptoms of prolonged COVID-19
Eight looked at the effects of vaccines that had been given before transmission and found that vaccinated people were less likely to develop symptoms of prolonged COVID-19 compared to those who did not receive a vaccine.
“These studies add to the potential benefits of receiving a full course of vaccination against COVID-19. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from severe symptoms when infected and can also help reduce the long-term impact.” The UKHSA Immunization chief said in a statement.
“For most people, the symptoms of long-term COVID are short-lived and resolve over time. But for some, the symptoms can be more severe and disruptive to their daily lives. If you experience unusual symptoms, particularly for more than four weeks after infection, you should consider contacting your GP.”
ABOUT THE STUDY:
The studies compared prolonged symptoms of COVID-19 before and after inoculation. And they found that people vaccinated with the virus were more likely to see an improvement in their symptoms compared to unvaccinated people.
The National Health Service (NHS) said the study was an important reminder of the power and importance of vaccines in keeping the virus at bay. As well as to prevent health care services from being overwhelmed by the surges and waves seen before the launch of vaccines.
“With more than 10,000 people in the hospital with COVID, this study is a timely and important reminder that vaccines remain our best protection against the virus, reducing the chances of getting seriously ill as well as the effects of prolonged COVID.” said the NHS medical director.
“The NHS vaccination program has helped prevent more than 100,000 hospitalizations since mid-December alone, so the NHS is clear, where eligible, book your vaccine without delay,” Powis added.
