Vaccines effectively prevent death and hospitalization. Their impact on other after-effects is more limited. That's especially true for the Chinese vaccines. At this point, we're even starting to understand why. A lot of the after-effects seem to come from early in the progression of the disease, before the adaptive immune system activates. Loss of small, which is a proxy for a lot of neurological impacts, comes before the vaccines does anything (unless you have still have antibodies, which is just a few weeks after the vaccination). A lot of people in the original Wuhan infection are still suffering after-effects. I think China is basing their policies on that, but that's speculation.
