AB - Vaccines substantially mitigated the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic worldwide, saving millions of lives. The pandemic has, however, left a substantial global prevalence of a post-viral syndrome, called post-covid-19 condition or long covid. Post-covid-19 condition is defined as persistent symptoms at three months from the onset of covid-19, with symptoms that have lasted for at least two months.At least 200 million individuals are affected,and the protective value of covid-19 vaccines remains uncertain, with reported estimates ranging from a 13% to a 52% reduction in risk.Most of these studies relied on self-reported symptoms of post-covid-19 condition rather than a clinical diagnosis using ICD-10 (international classification of diseases, 10th revision) coding.
