But it’s still unclear how well the vaccines will reduce the risk of chronic, long-term symptoms, which a small but significant number of COVID-19 patients experience. “It’s an incredibly important question that we just don’t know the answer to,” says Timothy Henrich, a virologist and viral immu...
