Those who have been vaccinated have a smaller chance of developing lung covid complaints. Fully vaccinated people less often develop complaints such as fatigue, headache, muscle pain and shortness of breath after infection with the corona virus. turns out from meta-research by the British Health Security Agency.
People who already have long-term covid may also benefit from a vaccination: in some cases the symptoms decrease after a shot. At the same time, there is a smaller group where the complaints actually get worse.
It is still unclear why a vaccination can lead to fewer symptoms in people with lung covid. One theory is that the inoculation clears up the remaining virus reservoirs in the body. This would reduce inflammation. Another explanation is that vaccinations lead to a new balance of the immune system. At the same time, that would explain why the problems worsen in a small group.
