Vaccination status and long COVID symptoms in patients discharged from hospital. 2/11/2023. Nascimento TCDC. Sci Rep.
From May 2021 to February 2022, 412 consecutive SARS-CoV-2 positive patients hospitalized in 2 Brazilian locations were enrolled in a study reporting symptoms at 90 days post infection via telephone interview. The patients who had complete vaccination were compared to those with partial or no vaccination. Although younger and with less comorbidities, 31% of the unvaccinated group were admitted to the ICU, as opposed to 20% of the vaccinated. At 90 days the odds ratio of having more than 1 symptom was 2.4 for females, 1.8 for unvaccinated, and 1.7 for ICU admission. The authors conclude vaccination mitigates the probability of long COVID.
