Covid-19 Vaccination Reduces Risk of Post-Covid Conditions, Study Shows
A population-based cohort study in Sweden involving 589,722 individuals found that Covid-19 vaccination before infection was associated with a reduced risk of post-Covid-19 condition (PCC). The study showed that any number of vaccine doses before infection was associated with a 58% reduction in the risk of PCC. The effectiveness of the vaccine against PCC was 21% for one dose, 59% for two doses, and 73% for three or more doses. These findings highlight the importance of primary vaccination in reducing the burden of PCC in the population.
