The Department of Health have slammed studies {that a} new situation linked to the Covid vaccine has developed after claiming there may be "no evidence" to help the report.

Earler this week it was reported that scientists had been investigating a brand new situation believed to be brought on by the Covid vaccinated - dubbed 'Long Vax'.

Scientists from Harvard and Yale had been learning the "debilitating" suite of signs that included complications, fatigue, irregular coronary heart fee and blood stress.

Researchers mentioned the situation may very well be resulting from an immune overreaction to the Covid protein in some sufferers, including that it was a "rare" aspect impact.

But talking to Express.co.uk, a spokesperson for the Department of Health mentioned there was "no evidence" of such situation being linked to the vaccine.

They mentioned: "Over 151 million doses of vaccines against COVID-19 have now been administered in the UK, saving tens of thousands of lives through the biggest vaccination programme that has ever taken place in this country.

"As a part of our ongoing rigorous security monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines, we intently evaluation the Yellow Card studies submitted to us within the UK alongside security information from different sources from the UK and internationally. We additionally work intently with our UK public well being companions to judge information on the security and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.

"Current evidence does not support an association between the risk of long COVID or 'long-vax' and COVID-19 vaccination. However, there is evidence that those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 are less likely to report symptoms of long COVID following infection from the virus.

"As with all vaccines and medicines, the security of COVID-19 vaccines is repeatedly monitored and we proceed to maintain rising data beneath evaluation. We ask anybody who suspects they've skilled a aspect impact linked with their COVID-19 vaccine to report it by way of our Yellow Card scheme website."

Experts at Harvard and Yale said the symptoms that can appear hours, day or weeks after getting the vaccine can persist for months.

Though the list of symptoms has similarities with Long Covid, experts stressed it was extremely rare and that the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the risks.

Other symptoms include tingling, burning pain and blood circulation issues, reports MailOnline.

Doctors are reportedly seeing dozens of patients coming in with symptoms that align with the new condition, though the true number is not yet known.

Dr Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale, is leading a study of around 2,000 people into the issue.

He said it was proving "controversial" due to the number of vaccines that have saved millions of lives with studies showing the jab also decreases risk of Long Covid substantially.

Long Covid is relatively common, with one in eight adults who get infected with the virus suffering ongoing symptoms for months.

Dr Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, told Science: "You see one or two sufferers [with possible Long Vax] and also you surprise if it’s a coincidence. But by the point you’ve seen 10, 20... Where there’s smoke, there’s hearth."

In Long Vax, researchers recommend it's being brought on by an identical immune overreaction to the Covid spike protein that the vaccine makes use of to generate antibodies.

One thought is that some individuals produce a second spherical of antibodies which then mistakenly assault the wholesome cells.

The antibodies may also bind to ACE2, a receptor that aids regulation of blood stress and coronary heart fee however can be utilized by Covid to enter the physique. If the antibodies get in the way in which of ACE2's signaling, then that might result in the sooner coronary heart charges and fluctuating blood stress.

The situation remains to be being researched.
