New Study Finds A Huge Perk Of Getting Vaccinated After Having COVID

Huff Post  

VioletaStoimenova via Getty Images A new study shows people in high-transmission settings have high levels of protection if they've been vaccinated and had COVID-19. And by far the lowest attack rate was among fully vaccinated people who’d also been previously infected with COVID-19 — “highlighting the importance of vaccination, even among persons with previous infection,” argued the authors of the study, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week. Why vaccines are recommended even if you’ve had COVID-19 Some people, like former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, have argued against vaccination for those who’ve been infected, saying that “natural” immunity is safer and possibly stronger. In fact, the CDC has been saying for months that people who have had COVID-19 and recovered should still get vaccinated, in part because researchers still don’t know how long natural immunity lasts.
