Already almost two years are Pandemic Coronavirus (Covid-19) began throughout the world. While some vaccines with high efficacy levels are currently available, their protection capabilities in the face of a variety of threats caused by the virus remains rather ambiguous. One threat is like a long covid or post-acute, SARS-COV-2 infection (POSS).
According to WebMD, Long Covid can be defined as having the remaining symptoms of infection or even months after one starts to recover from it. A recent study by University researchers Michigan revealed that more than 40 percent of people survived from Covid-19 throughout the world are estimated to suffer from a long covid.
Do vaccination protect against Long Covid?
Although vaccination helps against viruses, experts believe that it does not limit the risk of long covid. According to a report in nature, Physiotherapist David Putrino said a dozen his clients experienced a long covid of ‘breakthrough infections’ where individuals who were vaccinated to catch infection.
One of the causes of Long Covid is a broad immune response triggered by initial infection, which can produce antibodies and some other immunological reactions to their own body tissues. The researchers and data show that vaccination can only reduce the possibility of this scenario, and also that protection against partially long covid.
One of the largest studies collected so far from 1.2 million people, who are inoculated with at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine, found that two full doses of vaccination reduce the risk of long covid about half of those who have a breakthrough infection. However, the journal report Nature noted, this study is more men than women, and fewer individuals from low-income areas.
Is it possible to know how far and a long risk of covid?
Immunology Petter Brodin at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute said that determining the risk of covid from challenging breakthrough infections when some people with mild or asymptomatic infections may not even be tested for Covid-19, according to natural reports.
“Do all kinds of assessments about how many people develop long-term symptoms after they are vaccinated will be very difficult,” he added.
What is still unknown regarding interlinks between vaccines and covid length?
A large study, but for review peer, revealed that vaccination did not protect from several conditions related to Long Covid. Referring to this, the Iwasaki Iwasaki Immunology at Yale University in Connecticut, said that the results of this study were disappointing.
“Honestly I think the vaccine will protect from a long wider covid,” he said.
With the vaccination program continues, the researchers will get better insight into vaccine mechanisms and variants that affect the level and length of severity. For example, in October, the British branch for national statistics, which assembled data on Long Covid, reported that the first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine was associated with a 13 percent decline in the symptoms of long covid reported by themselves. already have his condition. Meanwhile, the second Jab produced an additional 9 percent of the drop relative to the first.
