    TLDR COVID-19 can cause long-term health issues in many body systems, and vaccination is important to prevent these effects.
    The document reviewed the long-term effects of COVID-19, highlighting its impact on multiple body systems, including pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurological, hematological, renal, endocrine, gastrointestinal, and integumentary systems. It emphasized the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary management approach to detect and prevent long-term damage, with a focus on nutrition, physical therapy, psychological management, and mindfulness. Key findings included increased risks of thromboembolic events, myocarditis, cognitive impairments, and new-onset diabetes. Hair loss was reported in 20% of patients. The review stressed the importance of vaccination to prevent these outcomes and called for further research to understand the prevalence and mechanisms of these long-term effects.
