Covid when you're double jabbed

What can you expect to feel if you're double jabbed and get Covid? My 15 yo son tested positive last Wednesday. We've been trying to avoid him at home but it is difficult! I'm now feeling a bit out of sorts and coughing a bit, but not too bad. Not sure if it's just the boredom getting to me...

This is anecdotal, but a friend of mines daughter (double jabbed as CV with CEV in same household) recently tested positive. She had the sniffles and sneezing, no one was expecting a positive, mostly because, well she isn't actually ill.
Rested of the family tested all negative, whether that means they brought it in to the house but were asymptomatic as double vaxxed or that the jabs worked 100% for them so they didn't catch it, I don't know

So far I haven't caught it. Dd got symptoms last Tuesday and ds and dh on Thursday. We all had pcr and I was the only one with negative. I took lft yesterday and still negative and no symptoms. I am double jabbed since May.

I gather it’s an unpredictable as it how you would suffer without the vaccines in the first place. Some with both vaccines are really unwell, whereas others wouldn’t have known they had it without the test results. Same as without vaccines. Hope you’re all ok.

Zoe trial says that you can basically expect cold symptoms: headache is the defining symptom with delta, with sore throats and runny nose and the old fever, cough and no smell are way down the list now. It varies a bit with whether you're double, single or no jab, but either way the symptoms have changed.

From Zoe app:

Headache, runny nose, sneezing, cough, loss of smell.

Though obviously most people with those symptoms will just have a cold. I had all of those and my pcr was negative twice.

OK, well that figures. My son's main symptom has been headache and runny nose - I wasn't expecting that! Haven't heard him cough at all. He's getting over it quite quickly though.

I'm double-jabbed since May.
Caught covid sometime in the last 9 days ( daughter thinks she probably got it last Monday-about 9 days ago) I had loss of appetite & felt like rubbish this Monday & lateral test came back positive. Dry cough & loss of taste & smell from yesterday ( Tuesday).
Covid test came back positive yesterday.
