The first 43 confirmed Omicron infections in the US were shared by the CDC.
The most common symptoms were cough, fatigue, and congestion.
It's too soon to act like Omicron is the common cold in Europe.
The first data on Omicron symptoms in the US is starting to trickle in, and it's an early sign that vaccines are doing their job of warding off severe illness, even though mild coldlike infections may quickly become easier to catch for vaccine people.
The first 43 Omicron cases were confirmed across 22 US states. The cases were mild. A person was hospitalized and discharged after a few days.
The CDC said cough, fatigue, and congestion were the most common symptoms.
The sick included many people who received vaccine. The patient was hospitalized.
Of the 43 included in the report.
40 were not normal.
34 of them were fully vaccine free.
25 were under 40 years old.
Fourteen people traveled internationally in the past two weeks.
Fourteen received boosters.
6 had trouble breathing.
6 had been coronaviruses infections.
3 people lost their sense of smell or taste.
One was hospitalized for two days.
The majority of people in the report had a cough, and more than half had fatigue or congestion. Dehydration, nausea, and vomiting were also reported, but not as frequently. Three people lost their smell or taste, which is a symptom of earlier coronaviruses.
Early reports in both the European Union and the UK show a coldlike-symptom profile.
A researcher in the UK said that most people would have thought they had a cold.

There are 337 Omicron cases in 21 countries. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said in its latest update that no Omicron deaths have been reported.
In the UK, the ZOE COVID-19 symptom tracker, which uses a smartphone app to log how many people are feeling every day, has recorded a trend of more mild infections among vaccine recipients.
The principal investigator of the ZOE COVID Study said that he was already seeing signs of Omicron spreading, even though Delta still accounts for more than 85% of cases in the UK.
At a 60-year-old's birthday party, Spector described a recent "superspreader" event. There were 18 people who werevaccinated and many who were boosted. Even though a good chunk of the partygoers took rapid COVID-19 tests before the party, one of them later tested positive, and within a couple of days, 15 others who'd attended the party did as well.
It's highly unlikely that Delta would do that. Even if you're double or triple vaxed, it's still not preventing infections.
The UK Health Security Agency said that Omicron was showing a growth advantage over Delta and that the new variant was likely to out compete Delta in the UK.
It would be much harder to test and trace this variant because of that.
He said that they have to be sensible. Nearly everyone is going to get this.
Most people will think they had a cold.
No one in the UK has died or been hospitalized because of an Omicron infection.
We're detecting Omicron in people who've received vaccinations.
A nurse is in the COVID-19 unit of the hospital.
Scientists don't know if Omicron causes less severe disease than Delta.
The director of the Center for Evolutionary Biology and Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh thinks that is nonsense.
Cooper and many other scientists believe that a more likely explanation is that more people have immunity to the virus through vaccination, natural infections or some combination of the two.
"I think it's because it's infecting people that have already seen a coronaviruses before," Cooper said.
Young people who are less likely to be hospitalized and more likely to have mild symptoms are the majority of Omicron cases detected so far.
The variant makes up less than 1% of the cases in Europe and the US, so experts have cautioned against making too many predictions about Omicron's severity.
Bob Wachter, the chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, told Insider that they have only seen a few Omicron patients in the Bay Area. We can't make much sense of what we've seen so far because the numbers are so small.
The CDC said that Omicron could overwhelm health systems.
The more Omicron spreads, the more likely it is that people will get sick and die. Omicron is more transmissible than other coronaviruses, and early lab studies suggest it was better at evading the vaccine than the original version.
The CDC said in the report that a highly transmissible variant could result in enough cases to overwhelm health systems.
Everyone at higher risk of severe COVID-19, including residents of nursing homes and long-term-care facilities, should be given booster doses of the vaccine, according to the CDC.
The CDC still recommends that people get vaccinations, wear a mask, and test for Omicron, but it will likely change in the future.
Business Insider has an original article.
It is too soon to know how severe the variant is, since most of these cases were in people who were vaccine-free.

Fourteen of them received a booster, but five of them occurred less than 14 days after the shot.
