COVID-19 Symptoms in the Vaccinated and Unvaccinated

Posted on by Jesse Santiano, M.D.

Symptoms of COVID-19 differ among people. The COVID virus mutates, and the symptoms they produce can present differently from the original Wuhan strain. Vaccination status alters the immune response of the host and can also change the COVID symptoms.

The ZOE COVID Study puts together a list of symptoms from people who use their ZOE COVID Symptom app. The COVID Symptom Study App allows users to input their symptoms.

There are 4 million users of the ZOE app worldwide. That’s a good sample size to make for a report about symptoms.

The King’s College in London analyzes the data. Below are the most common symptoms by rank.

Take-Away Message

The vaccinated and unvaccinated can still get sick with COVID-19. Early diagnosis leads to earlier treatment and severe COVID-19. It will also prevent spread now that it is the cold season and people spend more time indoors.

If you have any symptoms, get checked right away.

  1. Those are the exact same symptoms of a bad cold and or flu. How do we know the difference? Or do the flu and cold no longer exist?

    1. Good question. The symptoms are the same because the SARS-CoV-2 also causes an upper respiratory infection in the beginning. The flu and the cold viruses are still around. If someone is a high risk, they should be more careful and get tested early. Doctors usually test for the flu, COVID-19, and other respiratory infections. That’s how you will know the difference.
