The NHS has responded to the UKHSA long covid study.
NHS medical director Professor Stephen Powis said, “With more than 10,000 people in hospital with Covid – this study is a timely and important reminder that vaccines remain our best protection against the virus, reducing the chances of becoming seriously unwell as well as the effects of long covid.
“The NHS vaccination programme has helped prevent over 100,000 hospitalisations since mid-December alone, and so the NHS is clear, when eligible book in for your vaccine without delay.”
