The study published in BMJ found that mild Covid-19 in vaccinated people was significantly associated with reduced risk for shortness of breath, compared with unvaccinated patients

“Our analysis showed an increased risk for several health outcomes after mild Covid-19 that was more prominent during the first six months after infection and decreased thereafter,” it said. “Data showed that the risk varied between different age groups and slightly differed between male and female patients and with vaccination status.

One of the authors of the Irish study, Dr Corinna Sadlier, said the data from Israel was a welcome development in increasing understanding of Covid-19 and its longer-term impacts. “I think there is a very good awareness now of long Covid as a clinical entity,” she said. “It is difficult for patients in that there is no diagnostic test.”

“From a patient perspective that is very frustrating – it is slow. Hopefully there will be a treatment from the clinical trials that are under way.“The other thing that we really do not understand and that we have looked at is what is actually driving the long Covid condition.”
