A vaccination reduces the likelihood of developing corona to around 0.3 percent, and the course is usually mild.
A study now shows the most common symptoms of vaccinated people.
London - The researchers at the renowned King's College have been collecting the symptoms of corona sufferers via the ZOE app since 2020.
Around four million people worldwide take part in the survey.
From this data, the scientists were able to identify the five most common symptoms in vaccinated people.
Corona vaccination: These are the most common symptoms in people who have been vaccinated
A small proportion of those who have been vaccinated develop corona. According to the German Hospital Society (DKG), breakthroughs in vaccination are almost exclusively found in the elderly. The five most common symptoms in people who have been vaccinated are: persistent cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache, and sneezing. That comes from the study by King's College. So far, the loss of the sense of smell or taste, fever or shortness of breath were classic symptoms of a Covid 19 infection. These are not quite as common among vaccinated people and are in 6th, 8th and 29th place.
In people with full vaccination protection, the course is usually mild, and sometimes there are no symptoms at all.
That is why scientists recommend regular corona tests to rule out an infection.
The researchers at King's College recommend a corona test for people who have been vaccinated, especially if they sneeze frequently and for no reason.
Unvaccinated people transmit the virus much more strongly and they too can carry the virus within themselves and pass it on to others without any symptoms.
Corona: A vaccination breakthrough is so likely
The probability of developing symptomatically despite a complete vaccination is around 0.3 percent.
It is only logical that vaccinated people are now also in intensive care units: Much more people are now vaccinated than not vaccinated, so statistically speaking, the proportion of vaccinated people in the total number of sick people increases.
Overall, however, significantly fewer people come to the hospital than would be the case without vaccinations.
Anyone who concludes from the presence of vaccinated people in intensive care units that vaccinations do not help, could also say: “Goalkeepers do not help, because 99 percent of the goals had a goalkeeper.
or: Wings are useless, because 99 percent of the plane crashes still had both wings on, ”explains scientist Mai Thi Nguyen Kim.
Sooner or later everyone will encounter the virus, Nguyen Kim continued.
Because the virus "came to stay", it can no longer be eradicated.
Accordingly, the risk must be weighed up between vaccination and infection in an unvaccinated state.
Statistically, the latter is much more dangerous.
Because the vaccination increases the likelihood of a mild course.
