Long Covid and Covid vaccinations. Get them ? Or dont?

Posted by judyfa43 @judyfa43, Mar 18 8:11am

I've had conflicting advice from doctors regarding Covid vaccinations.
Some advise getting them, others say absolutely not.
Is there a definitive answer?

Hi @judyfa43, I don't know if there is a definitive answer for everyone. I would normally suggest talking to your doctor to ensure it is advisable for you specifically. So frustrating that you are getting conflicting information from your doctors.

Here's some information from Mayo Clinic that might help your decision making.

Mayo Clinic studied COVID-19 vaccines' potential to reduce long-haul COVID symptoms. Here's a link to an article and video about the research:
- Mayo researchers find vaccine may reduce severity of long-haul COVID symptoms (Aug 2023) https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-researchers-find-vaccine-may-reduce-severity-of-long-haul-covid-symptoms/
