   The Covid-19 vaccines were powerfully protective, preventing millions of   
   deaths. But in a small number of people, the shots may have led to a   
   constellation of side effects that includes fatigue, exercise intolerance,   
   brain fog, tinnitus and dizziness, together referred to as “post-   
   vaccination syndrome,” according to a small new study.   
      
   Some people with this syndrome appear to show distinct biological changes,   
   the research found — among them differences in immune cells, reawakening   
   of a dormant virus called Epstein-Barr, and the persistence of a   
   coronavirus protein in their blood.   
      
   The study was posted online Wednesday and has not yet been published in a   
   scientific journal. “I want to emphasize that this is still a work in   
   progress,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University who led   
   the work.   
      
   “It’s not like this study determined what’s making people sick,” she said,   
   “but it’s the first kind of glimpse at what may be going on within these   
   people.”   
      
   Independent experts noted that the findings were not conclusive on their   
   own. Yet the results, from a scientific team known for rigorous work,   
   suggest that post-vaccination syndrome deserves further scrutiny, they   
   said.   
      
   More on Covid-19   
   Gut Issues: We asked experts why Covid causes diarrhea, constipation, pain   
   and bloating, and what to do about these conditions.   
      
   Heart Problems: One recent study found that a Covid infection doubled the   
   risk of a major cardiovascular event for up to three years afterward.   
   People who had severe infections were especially vulnerable.   
      
   Paxlovid and Long Covid: A new report suggested the drug might improve   
   symptoms for some patients, but results were mixed.   
      
   C.D.C. Vaccine Recommendations: The agency expanded its Covid vaccine   
   recommendations, urging some people to get additional doses of the updated   
   shots.   
      
   “One of the most important things is that we get some attention to really   
   shine a light on this and try to understand exactly what it is,” said John   
   Wherry, director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of   
   Pennsylvania. (Dr. Wherry has previously collaborated with Dr. Iwasaki’s   
   team, but did not participate in this work.)
