"COVID might be the largest mass casualty event in Australian history. And with
one in 20 people with COVID still experiencing symptoms three months later,
long COVID might even become Australia’s most significant cause of longer-term
disability.
Around eight million Australians are estimated to have been infected with COVID
during the pandemic, so a prevalence of 5% means 400,000 people could have long
COVID. With more than 30,000 new cases of COVID detected each day in Australia,
long COVID is becoming increasingly common.
We’ve known for some time that getting vaccinated reduces your chance of long
COVID. Now new data suggests getting boosted further reduces your chance of
long COVID.
But it’s still possible to get long COVID after being vaccinated – and
Australia needs to be better prepared for this."
