ABSTRACT
Introduction. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) was responsible for the pandemic Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) declared in March 2020.
Worldwide, vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has
been very important.
Objective. To evaluate the frequency of the infection
of SARS-CoV-2, symptoms related to the infection
and the impact of vaccination.
Materials and Methods. From October 2021 to
January 2022 917 subjects were evaluated. SARSCoV-
2 was diagnosed by RT-PCR.
Results. The total incidence of positive cases was
41.66% (n = 382). Previous application of the
vaccine and being in contact with positive subjects
14 days prior to diagnosis deliver a protective with
regard the virus (OR = 0.60 and 0.50, respectively)
(p ‹0.05).
Discussion. We observed an association between
fever, cough, anosmia, and dysgeusia with the
infection, which corresponds to what has been
reported in the literature, as well as a protective
factor attributable to vaccination, as expected.
Conclusion. The vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is
effective, regardless of the manufacturer.
