- Abstract
A study published in the Journal of Medical Virology examined the prevalence and risk factors of long COVID 6-12 months after infection with the Omicron variant among nonhospitalized patients. Contrary to previous studies, this study found that patients who had received three or more doses of vaccine were not associated with a lower risk of long COVID. Additionally, the study suggested that vaccination after infection was identified as an associated risk factor for long COVID. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the study, such as the lack of data on the severity of symptoms in the acute phase and the potential confounding factors. The specific pathological mechanism of long COVID is still unclear, and it is difficult to establish a convincing link between vaccines and long COVID at the pathological level.
