Covid-19 vaccination can curb the effect of long COVID on patients' social, professional, and family lives

Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, may lessen the severity and duration of 'long COVID' in those with persistent symptoms after infection, suggests a study that closely imitates a randomized clinical trial, and published in the open access journal, BMJ Medicine.

Evidence that cross-reactive immunity from common human coronaviruses can influence response to SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study published in the journal Vaccines, researchers in Saudi Arabia and the United States examined immune responses and immunoglobulin G (IgG) cross-reactivity in individuals infected with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
