Optimizing the schedule of BNT162b2 COVID-19 against long COVID and associated quality of life losses
Receiving at least three COVID-19 vaccine doses prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection provides a sustained protective effect against long COVID and its negative impact on quality of life for at least two years. The longer-term durability of this protection, the role of reinfection, and the influence of emerging viral variants remains to be investigated.
