by nearly 50% and blood-clotting disorders by 56%, compared with those who were not vaccinated.
The data did not show whether a person was boosted, but Al-Aly said he doesn’t expect boosting to make a big difference in terms of vaccines protecting against long COVID, norVanichkachorn agreed. “Unfortunately, I do not think boosting will do much to prevent long COVID with the vaccine,” he said. “We have many patients with breakthrough infections who are as vaccinated as possible. We also have not seen much of a difference between variants with long COVID symptoms.
But for long COVID, they’re not necessarily the solution. “I don’t believe vaccination is the key to eliminating long COVID,” Al-Aly said. “We really need to think about additional layers to protect us from the long-term consequences of this virus.”COVID cases are once again rising again in the U.S., driven now by an omicron subvariant called BA.2.12.1, according to theAl-Aly said he doesn’t fault people for that.
“Now that we have lifted all these other public health measures, vaccines are really the only layer of protection we have,” Al-Aly said. “That places even more urgency on the question of what other prevention or treatments might be available. Can we tweak those original vaccines to also address long COVID, or do we also need intranasal vaccines or other therapies in addition?”
