Work Impairment and Financial Outcomes Among Adults With vs Without Long COVID

What are the differences in long-term financial and work outcomes among individuals with self-reported long COVID (LC) vs those with resolved or never LC?In this cohort study of 3663 participants, financial and work outcomes were worse in participants with current LC up to 3 years after initial infection. COVID-19 vaccination was associated with better work and financial outcomes.This cohort study found that worse financial outcomes associated with LC were sustained up to 3 years after SARS-CoV-2 infection but were mitigated by prior vaccination.
