Evaluation of Physical & Mental Status of COVID Recovered Patients Underwent Vaccination of Both Doses: A Questionnaire Survey

Abstract

Aim: Purpose of our study was to assess the physical and mental status of patients who have recovered from Covid and have also undergone vaccination process as well.

Methodology: 50 patients were included in the present study who had recovered from coronavirus infection and had undertaken vaccination atleast one month back from the commencement of the present research. The patients were given questionnaire which was in English language and in an open-ended format. The questionnaire was based on demographic characteristics, co-morbidity history, clinical categorization of previous covid infection, mental status after covid infection, post -covid residual disease.

Results : Maximum subjects had no post covid recovery syndromic illness (70%), however, predominantly fatigue as well as breathlessness were common in those who had this complication after covid recovery. After recovery from infection as well as getting vaccinated, the fear of reinfection still persisted in many participants as new variants have emerged which might evade this protective immunity

Conclusion: Psychological impact after recovery from covid infection was more even after vaccination. Physically patients were of near normal health, however, some of them still complained of breathlessness or fatigue.
