Effect of Paxlovid treatment during acute COVID-19 on Long COVID onset: An EHR-based target trial emulation from the N3C and RECOVER consortia

PLoS Med. 2025 Sep 15;22(9):e1004711. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1004711. eCollection 2025 Sep.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Preventing and treating post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 infection (PASC), commonly known as Long COVID, has become a public health priority. This study tests whether Paxlovid treatment in the acute phase of COVID-19 could help prevent the onset of PASC.

COVID-19 Vaccination Timing, Relative to Acute COVID-19, and Subsequent Risk of Long COVID

medRxiv [Preprint]. 2025 Apr 23:2025.04.22.25326224. doi: 10.1101/2025.04.22.25326224.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Long COVID is a debilitating condition that impacts millions of Americans, but patients and clinicians have little information on how to prevent this disorder. Vaccination is a vital tool in preventing acute COVID-19 and may confer additional protection against Long COVID. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal timing of COVID-19 vaccination (i.e., vaccination schedule) to minimize the risk of Long COVID.
