Abstract: Vaccination reduces the risk of long COVID in children mRNA vaccination cut by about one-half the risk of developing two or more long Covid symptoms in children who had been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain. 1 The study, which looked at >600 subjects aged 5-17 years, most likely underestimated the rate of protection because it did not take into account the possibility that vaccinated children are less likely to contract infection in the first place.Long Covid is a set of symptoms that can develop following COVID-19 infection, including fatigue, shortness of breath, cardiovascular and neurological problems.
