A study by King’s College showed that Britons who received a booster vaccine recovered from Omicron almost twice as fast as those who did not receive the Covid-19 vaccine for the third time. The study analyzed 62,000 vaccinated people who received the third vaccine, with symptoms of this variant on average for 4.4 days and those who did not get the third vaccination for 8.3 days, according to the Daily Star.
A study published in The Lancet also found that subjects vaccinated with the D3 vaccine showed delta symptoms for an average of 7.7 days and 9.6 days for those who were vaccinated only twice. Meanwhile, Omicron patients were 25% less likely to be hospitalized than Delta patients, with 1 in 50 and 1 in 38, respectively.
Professor Anna Valdez, Professor Emeritus at King’s College London, said: “While there is still a wide range of symptoms in terms of duration and severity with Omicron, vaccinated individuals experience a short average duration of symptoms. This indicates that the Omicron incubation period The infection period may also be shorter.
The study also found a difference in symptoms between the two variables, with only 17% of those analyzed with Omicron losing their sense of smell, compared to 53% compared to Delta. Dr Christina Mann of King’s College said: “We are seeing different clinical manifestations of symptoms in people with Omicron compared to those in Deltas.
“As we move away from the average patient with UK government ‘core’ symptoms – such as fever, persistent cough and loss of smell – our results suggest a different selection of symptoms that may indicate infection. At least five days of self-isolation is important to protect others once symptoms are noticed. “.
