Long-term COVID exposure can be reduced; Omicron. Post-WHO on post-COVID complications

Maria Van Kerkhove of the WHO said that we had 409 million cases of COVID cases that we know about, and a significant number of them are suffering from COVID, we are working to better understand it every day.

How do vaccines help reduce the chances of COVID in the long run?

Recent studies have suggested that vaccination long lowers the risk of developing COVID, van Kerkhove said.

Similarly, the UK’s Health Protection Agency, based on 15 studies, has not only reduced the likelihood of long-lived COVID, but people have shown improvement rather than worsening of COVID symptoms long after they have taken the vaccine.

“For most people, long-term COVID symptoms are short-lived and resolve over time,” said Dr Mary Ramsay, head of vaccination at UKHSA, “but for some, symptoms can be more severe.” and can interfere with their daily lives.

“These studies add to the potential benefits of receiving a full course of COVID-19 vaccination,” Ramsay said.

And, that’s another big reason why someone should get vaccinated, Van Kerkhove insisted.

What were the UKHSA’s findings?

• People with COVID who received two doses of the Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of the Janssen vaccine, were almost half as likely as those who received a single dose or developed chronic-Covid symptoms lasting more than 28 days. were unrelated to.
• Vaccine effectiveness against most chronic-Covid symptoms was highest in people aged 60 years and older
• Vaccines may improve rather than worsen COVID symptoms, either immediately or over several weeks

Can you get COVID long after Omicron?

We get a lot of questions about what people are likely to get Long COVID after Omicron. We don’t have the answer yet. But there is no reason to suggest that there will be a difference

What did WHO say on Long COVID?

Last week, WHO officials said the long-term effects of the coronavirus could be severe, affecting every part of your body.

When people talk about COVID, they think of it as an upper respiratory disease, but it is more than a systemic disease. WHO official Dr Abdi Mahmood said that literally, it was affecting every part of the cardiovascular system a year later and later.
