What is Post Covid Conditions (PCC)?
This is also known as Long COVID. It can affect patients with mild, moderate,
and severe disease, both vaccinated and unvaccinated. In the studies it can affect between 15 to 30%
of unvaccinated people who get COVID.
This decreases to about 10 to 20% for vaccinated patients. PASC causes many symptoms long
term including shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, heart
disease, liver disease and kidney disease.
