NORWICH (UK) : Two weeks after your second COVID-19 vaccine dose, the protective effects of vaccination will be at their highest.
At this point, you’re fully vaccinated. If you still get COVID-19 after this point, you’ve suffered a “breakthrough" infection.
Broadly speaking, breakthrough infections are similar to regular COVID-19 infections in unvaccinated people – but there are some differences.
Here is what to look out for if you’ve had both jabs. According to the COVID Symptom Study, the five most common symptoms of a breakthrough infection are a headache, a runny nose, sneezing, a sore throat and loss of smell.
