After conducting their analysis, the researchers did not find significant differences in the baseline to six-month change in loss of smell, respiratory symptoms, depression, anxiety, PTSD, or quality of life among vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.
The researchers concluded: “Our findings suggest that COVID vaccination is not associated with improvement in PASC [long Covid].”
They added: “Additional studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying PASC and to develop effective treatments.”
The good news
Evidence elsewhere has found vaccination mitigates the impact. There is also good evidence getting vaccinated can help ward off long Covid in the first place.
