Work Impairment and Financial Outcomes Among Adults With vs Without Long COVID

In this prospective cohort study of adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection, participants with current self-reported LC reported worse work impairment, missed work, and financial distress compared with those who never had LC, while vaccination was associated with improved work outcomes and less financial distress even among individuals with LC. These data underscore the need for postpandemic assistance programs, as well as vaccination to decrease societal harms.

Abstract

In this prospective cohort study of adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection, participants with current self-reported LC reported worse work impairment, missed work, and financial distress compared with those who never had LC, while vaccination was associated with improved work outcomes and less financial distress even among individuals with LC. These data underscore the need for postpandemic assistance programs, as well as vaccination to decrease societal harms.
