Vaccinated Scots are less likely to develop long Covid compared to unvaccinated people, new studies have found.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) looked into the impacts that vaccination has on so-called long Covid - the term given to symptoms experienced more than four weeks after initial infection.
Experts found that people who received two doses of the Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna vaccines were around half as likely to develop long Covid symptoms than those partially vaccinated or unvaccinated.
