The nine common Omicron symptoms found in fully vaccinated people according to new study

Since the pandemic started, researchers and medical professionals have been tracking the symptoms and side effects of people who have caught Covid-19.

Different age groups can show different symptoms and now with the majority of the UK vaccinated, people who are fully jabbed can have a contrasting experience when catching Covid in comparison to those who aren't fully vaccinated.

The vaccines are proving to lower hospitalisation and deaths from Covid rate but they do not completely stop the transmission.

Research conducted in Norway has been published in infectious disease and epidemiology journal, Eurosurveillance.

As the Mirror reports, the researchers studied guests at a party where there had been an Omicron outbreak. Of 111 guests interviewed, 66 definitely had Covid, while 15 more possibly had the virus.

Over half (89 percent) of those at the party had received two doses of the Covid vaccine and displayed nine common symptoms.

These were:

  • cough
  • runny nose
  • fatigue
  • sore throat
  • headache
  • muscle pain
  • fever
  • sneezing
  • nausea

Among these cough, runny nose and fatigue were reportedly most common, while sneezing and fever were least common.

Fainting, dizziness and fatigue are other symptoms of Omicron that can appear before a positive test, experts warn.

In a poll from WebMD more than 40 percent of women reported struggling with fatigue due to Covid, compared to one-third of men.

Meanwhile, a report from Germany claimed that there could be a link between fainting spells and Omicron.

German newspaper Ärztezeitung added that doctors could see a "clear connection" between the infection and the fainting spells.

The link was suggested after doctors in Berlin found that Covid was triggering recurrent fainting spells for a 35-year-old patient admitted to hospital.

Fatigue can cause body pain due to sore muscles as well as headaches, blurry vision and loss of appetite- it's just not 'feeling tired'.
