Can I get long Covid-19 after being vaccinated?

It’s unclear, but researchers are studying the chances of long-term symptoms developing in anyone who might get infected after vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccines in use around the world are effective at preventing severe illness and death from the coronavirus, but some people do get infected after the shots. With such “breakthrough” cases, health experts say the vaccines should help lessen the severity of any illness people experience.

But researchers are also looking at whether those breakthrough cases could lead to long COVID-19, which is when people experience persistent, returning or new symptoms a month or more after an infection. The condition can develop after severe initial infections or even in those who initially had mild or no symptoms.

Some estimates indicate about 30% of unvaccinated COVID-19 patients develop long-term symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, insomnia and brain fog. Similar symptoms can develop after other viral infections, too.A small study from Israel published recently found apparent long COVID-19 in several health workers with breakthrough infections. They developed mild symptoms including cough, fatigue and weakness that persisted for at least six weeks.

Lol.

Hey AP. Knock it off!

Why not The vaccine does not prevent infection usually prevents death. Some may get hospitalized most will not. So yes you should have the ability to get long Covid. That’s why masks are still needed!

It’s not a “breakthrough” if the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting the virus.

Open border so shove it

No it is clear or else we wouldn't be forced to wear masks.

Guarantee most of those 'suffering' from LC are hoping for a disability benefit to be created. 😐

If anyone bothers to listen to an Independent: Running the gauntlet through covid and vaccine disinformation and the importance of doing what we can to get through this which will not make everyone happy, but, hey, that's me, I guess... TheThing COVID19

Today is already different from the last century, now American people and countries can’t develop economy and be wealthy. Only national defense and war can develop the economy, be independent, and get rid of Chinese brain-control rules.

I’m recovering from a breakthrough case. Lost my sense of smell for two days. Almost 100% recovered

I hope I get long covid so I can stop working and live off the government forever.

I’ll save you time Yes

Seems a very small sample size. 🤔 Comparisons with other studies? Other countries? So concerned about a healthy child fighting a virus that can’t harm them that you advocate sticking an experimental drug which WE HAVE NO IDEA OF LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS into them!! CAN YOU SEE YOUR NEUROSIS? That’s going to make it even harder for those that do have long lasting symptoms, as they are disbelieved by teachers and other adults. Just as children with ME/CFS have struggled with school, even with a firm diagnosis as teachers lose patience over time.
