A study suggests that adults in the US who are reinfected with COVID-19 have a 35% higher risk of developing long COVID compared to those with a single infection, with recent vaccination potentially reducing this risk. The research analyzed electronic health records of over 400,000 individuals and found that reinfection increases long COVID risk, especially among older adults, and that vaccination timing may influence outcomes.
