A coronavirus infection leads to complaints for some long after the official recovery.

One study concludes that Covid vaccinations help.

Around 80 percent of all sick people feel little or nothing of their corona infection. As the Federal Ministry of Health also informs, a coronavirus infection takes around two to three weeks in mild cases. But not everyone is completely healthy again afterwards.

Some still struggle weeks or even months after surviving Covid-19 with symptoms such as constant exhaustion, tiredness, neurological disorders, sudden vomiting, muscle pain, insomnia, gastrointestinal complaints, severe dizziness, shortness of breath and even shortness of breath.

This phenomenon is known as "Long Covid *" or "Post-Covid-19 Syndrome". Reliable, representative data on the proportion of sick people with long-term consequences would be available from the portal

according to not yet before.

The German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP) estimates, however, that around ten percent of all sick people are affected.

Corona vaccination leads to an improvement in the symptoms of a large number of Long Covid patients

The British interest group LongCovidSOS informs in a study that so far there has been no treatment for Long Covid. “Many people of all ages continue to suffer from symptoms many months after the initial infection. The Office for National Statistics estimates that after four months, twelve percent of people who tested positive for COVID-19 still have symptoms, ”says LongCovidSOS. In collaboration with the Universities of Exeter and Kent, the organization published a study that shows

that more than half of the participants had fewer symptoms after receiving a corona vaccination

. Such as the

Business Insider

portal, among others

informed, the researchers interviewed 900 people who suffered from Long Covid. After infection, 50 percent of the sick were vaccinated with the Astrazeneca preparation, 40 percent with the Biontech vaccine and almost nine percent with the Moderna vaccine.

A survey after the corona vaccination showed:

In almost 57 percent of Long Covid patients, the symptoms improved

according to their own information.

24.6 percent noticed no difference and the complaints worsened for 18.7 percent, according to

Business Insider

.

It was noticeable that mRNA vaccinations (Biontech or Moderna) in particular led to an improvement in Long Covid symptoms.

Among Moderna vaccinees, 64.3 percent reported an improvement.

The study directors point out, however, that further studies should follow to support these results.
