Some Covid-19 long haulers say vaccines may be relieving their symptoms. Researchers are looking into it
Jessamyn Smyth hopes that two shots in the arm may be what finally delivers her from a year in which the lasting effects of Covid-19 wreaked chaos in her life.
Smyth says that after coming down with an acute infection in March 2020, she continued experiencing a constellation of health issues. For months, she has suffered from breathlessness, irregular and rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, and unusual skin rashes. Like many “long haulers,” Smyth’s fatigue was a constant “knock-down-pass-out-for-15-hours pathological exhaustion,” she explained in an email to CNN.

Abbott’s Dr Nick West talks to PharmaTimes about going beyond intervention to improve the care of cardiovascular patients in the UK
What is your current role and what does your day-to-day job involve?
I started as chief medical officer and divisional vice president of Global Medical Affairs within the Vascular division at Abbott in October 2019 after 20 years as a practising interventional cardiologist in the NHS. My day-to-day job is varied despite the pandemic and allows me to help shape our medical and scientific strategy as well as liaising with peers and colleagues around the world. The first months in the job involved a lot of travel to better understand the needs of our global customers and their patients, which is obviously no longer the case – but even now I can be in the Far East in the morning, Europe after that and finish up in the US in the afternoon/evening – even if only virtually!
