Omicron "appears to behave more like a cold virus in the vaccinated population," says Dr. Omai Garner, director of clinical microbiology for UCLA Health. As COVID-19 surges, a rush at testing centers and a shortage of home testing kits means that not everyone experiencing symptoms can be checked right away. Researchers suspect that initial viral loads are suppressed in vaccinated people infected with omicron, so antigen tests can’t detect the virus until a few days into infection.
