However, fewer symptoms were reported over a shorter period of time by those who had already had a jab, suggesting that they were falling less seriously ill and getting better more quickly.
Here is the current ranking of COVID symptoms after two vaccinations:
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Blocked nose
- Persistent cough
- Headache.
The previous “traditional” symptoms as still outlined on the Government website, such as anosmia (loss of smell), shortness of breath and fever rank way down the list, at six, 29 and eight respectively.
A persistent cough now ranks at number five if you’ve had two vaccine doses, so is no longer the top indicator of having Covid.
