Data Report

SUMMARY - Adolescents who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were less likely to develop long COVID after their first SARS-CoV-2 infection than unvaccinated peers, finds a new study. The new study included over 1,200 adolescents from across the United States; 724 were vaccinated against COVID in the six months prior to their first infection and 507 were not vaccinated. The researchers found that the risk of developing long COVID was over 20% among unvaccinated youths and about 13% among those who were vaccinated—representing a 36% reduction in risk after vaccination.
