The goal of this paper isn't to just compare long COVID in those that are unvaccinated versus vaccinated. The paper shows improvements in long COVID patients **after** vaccination. So, patients that were not previously vaccinated, got infected, then were vaccinated. "Of the 405 patients who were already vaccinated, 336 (82.9%) received their first vaccine dose after the infection." This is really the population that they are trying to study here but they could have done a better job in breaking them out.

This wasn't very clear from the abstract (paywalled paper).
If the results in the abstract are representative of this cohort, this seems to show more benefits from post-infection vaccinations than the other papers I've read. From memory, most studies generally show non-significant improvements.
