Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and the risk of developing venous thrombosis or embolism (VTE) after infection, particularly examining the impact of booster shots.
- The research analyzed data from Military Health System beneficiaries who tested positive for COVID-19 between 2020 and 2022, finding that vaccinated individuals had significantly lower odds of developing VTE compared to those unvaccinated.
- Results indicated that the risk of post-COVID-19 VTE was particularly low during the Omicron variant era, and those receiving booster shots had an even greater reduction in VTE risk.
