In their response to a Parliamentary question on 2nd February 2026, the Government has confirmed that its COVID-19 vaccination policy continues to prioritise only the prevention of severe acute illness, hospitalisation and death, with no meaningful consideration of Long Covid in vaccination decision-making. Relying on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the spring 2026 COVID-19 vaccination programme remains restricted to adults aged 75 and over, care home residents, and immunosuppressed people aged six months and over — the same groups eligible in autumn 2025.
Despite growing evidence of the long-term health, social and economic impacts of Long Covid, the JCVI states that it is uncertain whether additional vaccine doses influence the risk, severity or progression of Long Covid. As a result, vaccination policy continues to overlook prevention of chronic illness, leaving many healthcare workers, working-age adults and children unprotected against the ongoing risk of developing Long Covid following infection.

This narrative review shows that POTS, ME/CFS and Long COVID are closely related conditions that share common biological mechanisms. The authors explain that problems with the autonomic nervous system, immune dysregulation and autoimmunity, mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced blood flow to the brain, and neuroinflammation all play a role. POTS and ME/CFS are identified as the most […]
