A recent study in The Journal of Infection suggests that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may accelerate symptom resolution in individuals with ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 (OSC) and post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Using data from the ZOE COVID Symptom Study app, researchers found that vaccinated individuals experienced greater improvement in symptoms like fatigue and brain fog compared to unvaccinated individuals.
Interestingly, influenza vaccination had no similar effect, suggesting that the benefits are specific to the immune response triggered by the COVID-19 vaccine. While more research is needed to understand the mechanisms, these findings reinforce the potential role of vaccination in managing long COVID symptoms.
