People who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 and become infected may also be at higher risk of developing post-COVID conditions, the US health agency has warned.
The US has classified post-COVID conditions as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The CDC says there is no test to diagnose post-COVID conditions, it can only be diagnosed when a person shows symptoms with health-related problems.
