'In a young and healthy population, the risk of longCOVID after Omicron infection, independent of vaccination status, is very low.'
comparing the same variants also saw lower risks of long-term symptoms with Omicron 3 months after testing positive.
Health care workers completed online questionnaires three times over the next 2 years to say if they were experiencing any long COVID symptoms as well as how bad their fatigue was. Eighteen symptoms were covered, with loss of smell or taste, tiredness and weakness, burnout and exhaustion, and hair loss the most common issue reported.
"We can only speculate as to why this was," Carol Strahm, MD, an infectious disease specialist and one of the researchers involved in the study, said in a statement. He added that it could be due to Omicron being less likely to cause severe illness than the original virus, as well as immunity acquired through previous exposure, including asymptomatic infections that never resulted in the development of antibodies.
"In our Long COVID clinic, we still see plenty of cases of long COVID that developed after more recent infections," Geng, who is also a clinical assistant professor of medicine with the university's Primary Care and Population Health, says in an email.
