Has anyone gotten long covid from being infected for the first time after full vaccination?

[Chowmeinhotdog]

I know so many people have had long-term debilitating issues from LC. Just wondering if anyone has had issues with LC from being infected for the first time after being fully vaccinated. I know LC has a wide range of symptoms but I'm particularly interested in people whose symptoms have stopped them from returning to work full-time months later.

I think you’ll have to wait for this info.

Not many working age people will be many months both post vax and post covid.

Last I heard however, vaccines made LC considerably less likely. But then the data on LC is a total mess so who really knows?

I don't think anyone has a solid answer to this, we still don't understand the mechanisms underlying LC and like @TheKeatingFive says, the data is a mess.

Worth bearing in mind LC is an umbrella term containing many types of post-COVID complication - vaccination is likely to help protect again certain aspects for this. For example, people with complications caused by a severe infection or those with post-ICU complications.
Much murkier for those who have LC after a mild infection.

My boss and friend had Covid about 2 months after the second dose of AZ, got over it pretty quickly and apparently without complications, only to find out a couple of weeks later that he was suffering high blood pressure, and the Gp thinks it’s a consequence of covid. Not necessarily log Covid, and not something that prevents him from working (it’s treatable) but he doesn’t know if it’s a long term condition or not. He doesn’t have parents or close relative with the same problem.
(Had it happened to me, I’d have assumed it’s genetics, as both my parents at some point developed high blood pressure)

I read an article a few days ago that said many people are attributing long-term issues to Covid but that they may have got these conditions anyway. I think it must be very difficult to correlate some of these general symptoms, like the high blood pressure mentioned above, to Covid rather than something else.

Yup, like with vaccine related complications, you can't just look at raw numbers and you need a comparator. Otherwise you have no idea if the complications you're looking at are different from the usual baseline rate that would've occurred had coronavirus never happened.

This is a good (and reassuring) updated analysis from the ONS using a control group.
