A new study shows just how strong natural immunity against COVID-19 is for people who have already had the infection.
For at least 10 months after a COVID-19 infection, your immune system can provide good protection against symptomatic illness the next time around,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 inTen-month immunity after COVID-19 infection seems strong against all variants of the coronavirus, the study found.
Generally, protection from infection seems to be at least equal to two doses of mRNA vaccine, at least for the variants through BA.1. The study didn't include an analysis of protection against XBB and the variants that followed. XBB.1.5 is causing about 75% of current cases, according to the CDC. Natural immunity is protective, but no doctor is going to recommend having a COVID party to catch it on purpose. Without vaccination, a first infection carries a substantial risk of severe illness or death, particularly for people with underlying health conditions.

Vaccination Could Reduce Risk of Long COVID, Study ShowsA study focusing on fatigue and other long COVID symptoms saw some differences in severity of symptoms based on COVID variants, but these differences became insignificant when researchers accounted for vaccination status. The lead researcher says this discovery suggests that vaccinations may lower the risk of long COVID.
