Emerging evidence shows that a “significant minority” of people who contracted Covid-19 are still feeling effects months after initially falling ill. So-called ‘long Covid’ has been described as a roller coaster of unending symptoms. November’s Nursing Times features a clinical report and practice comment on persistent Covid written by nurse academic Dr Elaine Maxwell, from the National Institute for Health Research, who is leading a key national review on the condition. Meanwhile, a nurse who has long Covid-19 writes about her experiences. We also reveal our survey findings on nurse views on vaccination against influenza and Covid-19, as well as showcasing a clinical article discussing the flu vaccines available and how to ensure high uptake, plus much more.
