A review paper from the University Hospital Regensburg reports on studies on the significance of COVID-19 vaccination in connection with Long COVID
A review of existing studies on corona vaccination and Long COVID from the University Hospital Regensburg investigated the role of complete basic immunisation through vaccination against COVID-19 in preventing Long COVID or treating it subsequently. The researchers found indications that a complete basic immunisation could reduce the risk of developing late sequelae after a COVID-19 infection. Vaccination given after infection with COVID-19 could also modify existing symptoms. However, the researchers have not yet been able to determine a therapeutic treatment effect. The work was published in the journal "Die Innere Medizin" (Internal medicine).
