Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Recent research shows vaccination Complete Covid-19 can reduce the risk of long Covid symptoms. Long Covid is a persistent or prolonged symptom that can appear weeks to months after infection corona virus.

The study, published in The Lancet, found the risk of long-term Covid-19 was reduced by up to 50 percent after getting two doses of the vaccine.

“We found that the likelihood of having symptoms for 28 days or more post-vaccination was approximately halved after having two doses of the vaccine. These results suggest that the risk of long Covid is reduced in individuals who have received full vaccination,” the researchers wrote in their report in The Lancet.

The findings came after researchers analyzed self-reported data by adults in the UK who had Covid-19. Researchers compared the symptoms experienced in people who had been vaccinated with those who had not.

This data includes more than 1.2 million adults who received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. As many as 0.5 percent or 6,030 were positive for Covid-19. In addition, nearly 1 million adults have been fully vaccinated and 0.2 percent or 2,370 have tested positive for Covid-19 after the vaccine.

Researchers have also found that certain groups are more susceptible to coronavirus infection. Among them, people over the age of 60 years, people who are obese, and people who live in densely populated areas.

Quoted from CNN, the researchers concluded that overall vaccination was associated with lower symptoms if someone contracted the corona virus.

Vaccination is associated with a reduced likelihood of hospitalization and having more than five symptoms in the first week of infection.

“Almost all individual symptoms of Covid-19 were less common in vaccinated than unvaccinated participants,” the researchers wrote.
