The top symptoms were mostly similar regardless of vaccination status.
symptoms in recent weeks have changed since the coronavirus started to spread across the globe nearly three years ago, a study has found.
The top symptoms were mostly similar regardless of vaccination status, according to the Zoe Health Study, a long-running research project based in the U.K. that tracks the virus through its COVID Symptoms Tracker app. Through the app, participants self report their COVID-19 experiences. The study’s latest list published Oct. 20 highlights how “symptoms as recorded previously are changing with the evolving variants of the virus,” according to the report.
Four out of five top COVID-19 symptoms were the same for participants who received two vaccine doses, one vaccine dose and those unvaccinated, according to the research. These symptoms were headache, persistent cough, sore throat, and a runny nose.However, the top symptoms differed in how they ranked for each vaccination status group, the study found. Additionally, each group reported one different COVID-19 symptom that made the top five.

For those who received two COVID-19 shots, a stuffy nose was included in this group’s five most-common symptoms while it was absent from the other groups’ top five.
