COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months and older, regardless of a history of symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. This includes people with prolonged post-COVID-19 symptoms and applies to primary series and booster doses.
While some people have experienced relief from post-COVID symptoms after vaccination, more data are needed to understand the how the vaccine effects long-term COVID-19 symptoms. Growing epidemiologic evidence from adults and adolescents indicates that vaccination following infection further increases protection from subsequent infection, including in the setting of increased circulation of more infectious variants.
