Got COVID positive after fully vaccinated - loss of taste/smell

Hi,

I was fully vaccinated about 3 months ago (pfizer) and have now caught covid.  The tracing of this has led to a friend of a friend of friend who went to a gathering in Toronto and brought it home with him.  So, I think it is the B117 strand since I did get symptoms and tested positive.

My initial symptoms were low grade fever, never higher than 37.6C/99.8F.  I had a runny nose for about 1 day and a bit tired the next day with sinus pressure.  On the third day I lost my smell and especially taste.


Any information on when I will regain smell/taste?  Anyone else gone through this AFTER already being vaccinated?
