A small study finds that about half of vaccinated people experience no Omicron symptoms—or only mild ones
ore than half of people—56%—who are infected with the Omicron variant are not aware of their infection.. It’s good news, in some ways, since it underscores the fact that Omicron tends to cause relatively mild symptoms in vaccinated people. The downside is that many people are likely spreading the virus unintentionally.
Most of the people in the study were vaccinated, and the researchers measured levels of two different types of antibodies: those that the immune system made in response to the vaccines, and those that the immune system made after infection with the virus. At the start of the study, all of the volunteers had to have infection-induced antibody levels below a certain threshold, indicating they had not recently been infected with the virus.
The data showed that people’s awareness of their infection status improved after at-home rapid test kits became widely available earlier in 2022. While about 75% of people were unaware of their infection in January and February, only about 56% were by May. is a good idea even if you don’t feel sick, since transportation, work, school, and crowded public venues—like for concerts or sports games—are all places where you can potentially get infected.people are getting infected not just once
