Among the various unknowns surrounding long COVID is that if and the way the condition may arise with different SARS-CoV-2 variants.

New statistical bulletins from the U.K. Office for National Statistics (ONS) take a glance at the chance of COVID at the long run after an initial infection compatible with the Delta, Omicron BA.1, and Omicron BA.2 variants.

This analysis focused on individuals who haven't previously experienced a SARS-CoV-2 infection and compared double-vaccinated with triple-vaccinated individuals.

The analysis founds that within the triple vaccinated individuals, there was no statistically significant difference within the risk of long COVID among the considered variants.

Double-vaccinated individuals with initial infections compatible with the Delta variant were 50.3% more likely to report long COVID symptoms than those that experienced COVID-19 with the Omicron BA.1 subvariant.

The data also found that the chance of long COVID in those whose infections were compatible with Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 wasn't quite the identical.

The bulletin’s authors socio-demographically adjusted the info to eliminate as many potentially confounding variables as possible before performing their final calculations.
