Long COVID is still a problem and if you talk to somebody who’s had that, you could really understand how debilitating that can be. It really significantly affects people’s lives. And so if people are students or they’re working, you know, sometimes they’re not able to go to school and not able to work, or even if they are, they’re not able to do their usual physical activities. So it can really impact life. The more immunity you have to COVID, the less likely you’re going to have long COVID. So people who are vaccinated do have a decreased risk of getting long COVID.
