Comparing Post-COVID Conditions and Viral Variants: A Comprehensive Study.

A new study published in The Lancet compares post-COVID manifestations caused by the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type, Alpha, and Delta variants among unvaccinated and vaccinated populations. The study included almost 10,000 people with long COVID, and neither a lower prevalence nor duration of post-COVID symptoms was observed between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The study findings can be generalized, as this study was conducted in a large sample covering a wide spectrum of post-COVID symptoms.
