Now we have some protection, do we need to keep boosting or can nature take its course?
There are marked differences in your immune system after a natural infection with coronavirus and after vaccination.Even asking the question bordered on heresy a year ago, when catching Covid for the first time could be deadly, especially for the elderly or people already in poor health.
"We could be digging ourselves into a hole, for a very long time, where we think we can only keep Covid away by boosting every year," Prof Eleanor Riley, an immunologist from the University of Edinburgh, told me. For all the trouble the virus has caused, it is spectacularly simple. It has the famous spike proteinto hijack our cells and make thousands of copies of itself. .How much of the virus the immune system learns to attackWhether you've had Moderna or Pfizer or Oxford-AstraZeneca, your body is learning to spot just one thing - the spike protein.
Antibody levels are, on average, higher about a month after vaccination than infection. However, there is a huge gulf in antibodies between those who are asymptomatic and those who get a severe bout of Covid.
