Diagnosis of COVID-19: Is Fever the Best Indicator of COVID-19 in Vaccinated SARS-CoV-2-Positive Adults?
Fever may not be a reliable indicator of SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated individuals, as its frequency is significantly reduced by vaccination. However, since sore throat and cough are more frequently observed in vaccinated individuals, these symptoms could be useful for recommending COVID-19 testing even in the absence of fever, aiding in the prevention of infectious outbreaks.
