Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion
Dr. Colm Henry:
There is no relationship to the vaccine. As we know, the vaccine protects people from serious illness. The point I was making earlier is that it is not necessarily related to the original severity of the illness. We would expect people in intensive care or those in hospital for a protracted time to have post-acute symptoms for four, six or eight weeks after admission. For long Covid syndrome, there is a looser correlation with the original severity of the illness. There is a correlation but it is not as strong.
