my sister had a fever for one night, 12hrs after receiving the second jab
I was talking to a friend who works in public health for a local authority. She asks anyone that has had the vaccination to please Tweet/post on Facebook about it and any reaction as much as possible.
There is a lot of false information out there and they would like there to be more stories with actual experience which might be "had the jab, felt the same as usual" or "had the jab, felt rotten for 24 hours then normal" or whatever.
Data from israel seems to suggest between 33-60% less cases in vaccinated people. If you cant catch it you cant spread it.
To your point, I think the general assumption is that you will likely have a stronger and more immediate response and therefore not be asymptomatic for as long. Logically this makes sense to me, my sister had a fever for one night, 12hrs after receiving the second jab.
If you have had the jab and you are say 50% less likely to catch covid - when you do you catch it can still be contagious. When you have a cold you are contagious until symptoms are gone. The question is how much 'viral load' you're shedding, scientists assume it will be lower if vaccinated - but thats what theyre trying to find out. I don't know why its taking time to get the data but guess it is virtually impossible to say wether you caught covid from a vaccinated person or not.
Not an expert just my understanding from what I've read, happy to be corrected.
