New findings suggest that the risk of developing long COVID after being reinfected is less for adults but is similar for children.
The likelihood of adults self-reporting new-onset long COVID after a second infection with coronavirus is lower than when compared with a first infection, announced the Office for National Statistics today. However, there was "no statistical evidence" of a difference in the adjusted odds of new-onset, self-reported long COVID between first and second COVID-19 infections for children and young people .
, the ONS used data from the COVID-19 Infection Survey. It identified that, since November 2021, four times as many adults as children and young people reported having long COVID 12-20 weeks after a first coronavirus infection. Commenting on the finding, Daniel Ayoubkhani, data and analysis for social care and health division, Office for National Statistics, said: "Today’s analysis shows that adults who were infected with coronavirus for a second time from 1 November 2021 were nearly 30% less likely to report new-onset long COVID, compared with those infected for the first time over the same period, even after adjusting for factors such as vaccination status and calendar date of infection as a proxy for variant.
There was no evidence of differences in the relative risk of reporting new-onset long COVID after a second COVID-19 infection, compared with a first infection, by age, sex, ethnicity, pre-existing health status, area deprivation quintile group, or vaccination status.
