Studies agree vaccines cut Long Covid risk, disagree on how much

Original: Various studies suggest that vaccines lower the risk of Long Covid but differ as to how much the risk is reduced. # COVI

A growing body of research indicates that vaccination reduces the risk of developing Long Covid, but estimates of the size of the protective effect vary considerably between studies. The topic is being discussed on science and public health forums, with commentators pointing to the discrepancies as a challenge for public messaging, even where the overall direction of the evidence is consistent.

Why now: New studies comparing the size of vaccines' protective effect against Long Covid are prompting debate over how strong that protection really is.
