For at least 10 months after a Covid-19 infection, your immune system can provide good protection against symptomatic illness the next time around, a new study found
The researchers, from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation Covid-19 Forecasting Team, said their study is the largest review yet of available data on the subject. The study, published Thursday in The Lancet, is a meta-analysis that looks at 65 studies from 19 countries. Ten-month immunity after Covid-19 infection seems strong against all variants of the coronavirus, the study found. “There’s quite a long sustained protection against severe disease and death, almost 90% at 10 months.
However, he’s careful to note that the findings don’t mean people should skip a vaccine or booster if it’s recommended. “The safest way to get immunity is vaccination,” Murray said. As of February 8, only about 69% of the total US population has gotten their primary series of vaccines. Only about 16% has gotten a dose of the updated booster, the CDC says. Natural immunity is protective, but no doctor is going to recommend having a Covid party to catch it on purpose.
