Mon, 2023-07-10 09:40 — mike kraft

What is known about the rare side effect 'Long Vax Syndrome'?

The phenomenon known as "Long Vax Syndrome" is gaining attention among researchers as they seek to better understand the potential side effects of the Covid-19 vaccine. Similar to the long-lasting symptoms experienced by some individuals with "Long Covid," Long Vax Syndrome is characterized by headaches, extreme fatigue, blood pressure issues, and abnormal heart rates that can persist for weeks or even longer. However, it is important to note that the number of reported cases of Long Vax Syndrome is significantly lower than the number of reported cases of Long Covid.
