Given the very wide range of definitions for \u2018long COVID\u2019, the review focussed on those studies that specifically applied the World Health Organization\u2019s clinical case definition for post COVID-19 condition (PCC). It found seven high-quality studies in adults, of which six reported a statistically significant reduction in the risk of PCC for vaccinated adults compared to those who were not vaccinated. However, there is still limited evidence on whether vaccination reduces the duration of PCC symptoms, or the risk of developing PCC in children, adolescents, and immunocompromised individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 vaccination reduced the risk of developing \u2018long COVID\u2019 by approximately 27% in adults fully vaccinated before infection, according to a literature review carried out&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/news\/covid-19-vaccination-reduces-risk-of-long-covid-in-adults\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">COVID-19 vaccination reduces risk of \u2018long COVID\u2019 in adults<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[18,334,11,8,14],"class_list":["post-8310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-covid-19","tag-european-union","tag-long-covid","tag-research","tag-sars-cov-2","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8310"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8311,"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8310\/revisions\/8311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stillcoviding.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
