Recent large-scale research from the United States Published in the international medical journal Nature Medicine yesterday, May 25, 2022.
studied in populations who had previously been vaccinated And 33,940 people were infected with COVID-19, compared to 2.56 million unvaccinated and uninfected population and 10.7 million unvaccinated and uninfected population.
We assessed the incidence of long COVID and other health outcomes at 6 months after infection.
The main thing that was found was
1. Vaccination reduces the risk of long-term COVID by 15%.
The findings from this large study This is considerably less than that of other studies in the past. because of previous studies It was estimated to reduce the risk by 41% depending on the type of vaccine, with mRNA vaccines reducing the risk more than viral vector vaccines.
2. Vaccination reduced the chance of death from infection by 34% compared to the unvaccinated group.
3. Even after vaccination But if the infection comes up It also increases the risk of death at 6 months 1.75 times higher than that of uninfected people, and increases the risk of systemic disorders from long COVID than those who are uninfected. 1.5 times germs
…The results of this study reflecting on us the importance of self-defense Even after vaccination But it does not greatly reduce the risk of Long COVID, and it is still necessary to wear masks regularly.
Health consciousness or care for the health, well-being and safety of one’s own and family’s life It is important to help us survive the ongoing epidemic situation.
