Just to be clear, the reason two doses is listed is because the original two dose regimen is no longer protective. Several recent studies show each updated booster helps decrease long COVID risk, but the virus evolves quickly.
- GuB-42 3y agoNo, it really is as it says on the tin. More vaccination = more long covid. The study recognizes a bias though. The study is done in a hospital, with a lot of severe covid. If the vaccine is more effective at preventing severe covid than it is at preventing long covid, as it is likely the case, then such an effect is to be expected. In the most simple case, if you survived thanks to the vaccine, you can get long covid later, the dead can't.
- hammock 3y agoThat’s a very important clarification, I don’t want people to become vaccine hesitant because of this result. Can you link the study that shows the fall ‘23 booster protects against Covid infection in a post Omicron environment with the current circulating variant?
