Corona symptoms: study shows differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated

The data comes from the ZOE COVID app, which allows people with  COVID-19  in the UK to report their symptoms. In total, data from 63,000 people has already been evaluated.

Omicron: What are the symptoms of vaccinated people?

The researchers were able to identify differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated people in terms of individual symptoms and the time at which symptoms first appeared. A runny nose  and  the urge to sneeze  were particularly common in vaccinated people  . These symptoms were also more likely to occur at the onset of the disease.

Common symptoms in double vaccinees were (in order of first appearance):

1. runny nose
2. headache
3. Niesreiz
4. Sore throat
5. Cough

Those affected, on the other hand, reported a loss of their sense of smell less frequently than with the Delta variant.

The  duration of illness  in people who had been vaccinated three times was also reduced: while those affected were still ill for an average of 7.7 days after being infected with Delta, it was only an average of 4.4 days with Omikron.

What symptoms are typical for unvaccinated people at Omikron?

In unvaccinated people, there were a few differences with regard to the symptoms of an infection with the omicron variant. Fever was more common in unvaccinated individuals than in vaccinated individuals  .

In addition, the order in which symptoms appear varied slightly among unvaccinated individuals:

1. headache
2. runny nose
3. Sore throat
4. Niesreiz
5. Cough

As a rule, these symptoms are more pronounced in unvaccinated people than in vaccinated people.
