A vaccinated person developing a case of CoVid is at least 34% less likely to develop a case of Long CoVid than a person never vaccinated.  A retrospective cohort study from North Carolina’s RTI International reviewed the electronic medical records of 247,250 individuals who contracted CoVid  between August 1, 2021 and January 31, 2022.

 

The data revealed that those who received CoVid vaccinations using any of the approved vaccines were, on the whole, between 34% and 38% less likely to show any sign of Long CoVid in the months following their acute infection.

 

This study provides yet another compelling reason to get vaccinated and boosted with the latest Omicron-specific boosters.
