People who have received 2 doses of the vaccine are less likely to have prolonged COVID due to Omicron

Data from the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that the proportion of adults who have received two doses of the basic COVID-19 vaccine Omicron variant infection strain B.1 reported infection Prolonged COVID 4 to 8 weeks later was 50% lower than those with Delta.

The ONS said that the proportion of adults who received three doses of the vaccine who reported COVID symptoms lasting 4 to 8 weeks after their first infection due to the Omicron variant strain BA.2 was 22% higher than that of the strain BA.2 strain. BA.1.

However, there was no statistical evidence of a difference in the likelihood of active-restricted long-lasting COVID-19 between the Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.2.

The ONS said: “Among study adults who received 2 doses of the vaccine, the prevalence of persistent COVID-19 was adjusted for sociodemography 4 to 8 weeks after COVID-19 infection. The first Delta variant compatible was 15.9%, compared with 8.7% for infections caused by the Omicron BA.1 variant.

Among adults who received triple immunization, there was no statistical evidence for a difference in adjusted sustained COVID prevalence between first-time COVID-19 cases compatible with the Delta variant. and infections caused by Omicron BA.1 or Omicron BA.2.

However, the adjusted prevalence for Omicron BA.2-compatible infections (9.3%) was higher than for patients with Omicron BA.1 (7.8%)”.
