Re: Trajectory of long covid symptoms after covid-19 vaccination: community based cohort study

Dear Editor

In view of the large number of long Covid cases after vaccination it would be of great interest to have a follow up for those excluded in this study, esp those 283 210 individuals that were excluded for not having a positive swab or blood test. See i.e. Davis article below where 10-12% seem to have long covid after vaccination.
