Yes, it most likely would do. Or nothing at all. This is why regular lateral flow tests are a good idea.

I didn't get any symptoms before vaccination. I'm middle aged and overweight so should be higher risk

I was wondering actually it seems like a rather grey area? How does covid present if at all in somene vaccinated and if it presents as a cold how will that pass on if at all?

It can present as a mild cold even without the vaccine. It can not present at all and have no symptoms whatsoever and still be transmissible. Why do you ask?

Unsure33 · 27/05/2021 18:24

Yes it could be any of the symptoms just milder.

Yes.
Sneezing has been highlighted by the ZOE study.
IME of Covid after 2 x AZ - sneezing, runny nose, mild sore throat first symptoms turning into a normal cold with a slight cough (throat clearing type).
Loss of smell a late symptom but only lasted a couple of days. No temperature above 37.8 although felt warm for a day or two.
Tired but not so tired I couldn’t get up and do house jobs.

We surely all know by now that covid can present with a whole host of different syptoms or no symptoms at all

Afaik the vaccine doesn't change that. Have you been told something different?

I don't get why it matters now anyway?

I guess it matters because people who ar ex vaccinated may not know they have covid so could theoretically pass it on.

Yes this - and also, people might dismiss the risk of infection as nothing serious, fail to take precautions, and then end up with Long Covid.

According to ZOE long Covid is much, much less likely if vaccinated.
