Post COVID duration?

 It has been described that the condition can last three months, some have described as long as six months and potentially up to nine months. But as you know, we're still about one year and a half into the pandemic. There's still more studies that need to be done to follow patients who develop post COVID-19 condition or long COVID and to see when their symptoms we hope will resolve.

Will COVID vaccine produce severe side effects like allergic reactions?

 


Some participants in the vaccine clinical trials did report side effects similar to those experienced with other vaccines, including muscle pain, chills and headache.
And although extremely rare, people can have severe allergic reactions to ingredients used in a vaccine.
That’s why experts recommend people with a history of severe allergic reactions — such as anaphylaxis — to the ingredients of the vaccine should not get the vaccination.

COVID 19 vaccine: Which one offers the highest level of immunity and protection?

 


Currently, we do not have much clarity available on how long individual vaccines grant protection and immunity.
However, recent studies have indicated that mRNA vaccines, such as the one offered by Moderna may be capable of offering longer immunity, which may remain in place for years to come, and hence may not even require a booster shot.
Researchers at the Oxford University, who also helmed the development of the Covishield vaccine have also recently highlighted how the administration of a booster shot, given 10 months from the first shot may help significantly boost antibody count and work to provide lasting immunity
