Will vaccines like Covaxin and Covishield be effective against the Omicron variant? I'm also a bit worried about how much damage this variant can cause to the lungs of a healthy person. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm really worried because the patient just got over COVID about five days ago. I'm trying to find out if they also recovered from COVID pneumonia or if there's still something lingering. Can you help explain how we can know for sure if they're in the clear?
for that you should do chest xray
