The study was written by a group of Israeli doctors and scientists from the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, all of whom have been active players in the struggle to combat the spread of the virus and treat its victims in Israel.
The study focuses on the occurrence of COVID-19 symptoms, and specifically, their occurrence after being vaccinated, with the purpose of preventing cases of COVID-19 symptoms being mistaken for vaccine side effects. Such mistakes, the study noted, are more common than expected.
"The co-occurrence of vaccination deployment with the rapidly climbing COVID-19 spread in many parts of the world is a confusing period in which hope is mixed with great vulnerability," the study reads. Therefore, "every physical complaint after vaccination poses a true diagnostic dilemma as to whether an adverse reaction or a new COVID-19 infection is the cause.In Israel, among 4,081 vaccinated healthcare personnel who were included in the study, 22 (0.54%) developed COVID-19 one to 10 days after inoculation.
Among those, 13 healthcare personnel were tested simply because they presented symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, headache and fever, all common to influenza-like disease, that can easily be overlooked and dismissed, especially when the country's hospitals are dealing with an overwhelming number of patients on a daily basis.
The other nine healthcare personnel who tested positive after being vaccinated were tested because they were exposed to confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases.

Considering the fact that vaccinating healthcare workers in Israel and in many other parts of the world is considered a priority, the study stressed the importance of detecting post-vaccination infections in healthcare workers, noting the deadly chain-reaction that can be caused by an unknown infected hospital employee.
Thus, the study concludes, health clinics and hospitals should exercise a high level of suspicion when ever they encounter reported symptoms. It should be noted, however, that the authors stressed that there is no question that "large-scale vaccination of risk groups and later the general population is the single most effective public health measure for mitigation of the coronavirus disease."
