Some people suffering from long COVID have found significant symptom relief after the first dose of their COVID-19 vaccine, though the jury s still out as to whether that s the case for the majority of so-called long-haulers.
Last week,
New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay tweeted that she felt significantly better after her first vaccine dose.
She acknowledged that her report was both anecdotal and early, but that many other long COVID survivors had described a similar experience.
Several commenters responded to Gay that they, too, had significant symptom relief after their first dose, including Sharon MacMillan, MD, an ob/gyn in Massachusetts, who said she s been symptom-free for 6 weeks after her vaccine.
