With the rampant spread of the Omicron variant around the world, many ask whether primary vaccination doses or boosters are still needed if a person is infected with Covid-19.
In theory, infection can induce antibodies that may result in so-called natural immunity. But key questions remain. Can they replace vaccination? And can they protect a person from being infected again?
We examine what the regulators and scientific studies tell us.
Does someone who has already been infected need to be vaccinated? If they are vaccinated, should they get boosters?
The answer is yes, and yes. According to the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people who have already had Covid-19 and do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more likely to get Covid-19 again than those who get a jab after their recovery.
Since a booster can better protect a person from severe disease, health authorities in many countries advise people to get boosted even after infection, though guidelines vary.
In Singapore, for example, people can receive a booster 28 days after infection, although the recommendation is to be boosted three months after infection. British health authorities are advising at least a four-week wait after infection before getting a booster, while in Hong Kong there is no urgency for recovered Covid-19 patients to have a third dose, although a first dose is advised.
A study funded by the US CDC released in November last year showed that unvaccinated adults admitted to hospital with Covid-19 were 5.49 times more likely to be reinfected 90 to 179 days later than those who had received two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine but were never infected.

nope. you never needed it.
No.
What’s needed more that vaccines or boosters is a dose of Common Sense.
Only if AIDS is something to be desired for you.
1ah, no thanks. I got a mild case of covid Dec 2020 and I don’t wear a mask or avoid people and I’m fine without the clot shot.
Pure BS. Quoting CDC “studies”. How many of those “studies” were sourced from nonsensical CNN news feeds?
This “article” is crafted for people who are completely clueless and insist that others think for them.
No vaccine or seasonal booster to be #pureblood, just saying. /s
I had omicron in January. A potential job requires vax. If I get a job offer will consider $29/ hr. IT job
Check your Vitamin D3 and Zinc levels and get back to us.
No
And you don't if you have not had it.
“A study funded by the US CDC”
This is the same CDC that not only refused to endorse Ivermectin, a proven effective, early outpatient treatment for Covid, they told doctors and pharmacists not to use it, which killed thousands. F#CK the CDC.
It’s not a vaccine. It is an experiment gene therapy. So you can’t get a COVID vaccination. One does not exist.
Nope, you have better immunity than any ol vaccine, like I told my nephew, you have a get out of jail free card, go live your life you’re free
No sane person believes this power-control agitprop anymore.
Everything that comes out of this organization is a lie.
I saw the British dude not a week ago look at a study that shows getting the jab after covid recovery provides no benefit at all.
Wrong! I knew where this article was going the moment I read this sentence.
The answer they give is both wrong and this is the wrong question to ask. It is not a question of whether or not natural immunity can take the place of artificial immunity imbued by a vaccine. It is the other way around. Vaccinations have always been a way to artificially fake something like natural immunity.
Remember, humans were getting infected and recovering (and yes diing too) long before vaccinations came along.
Dr. John Campbell reviewed a recent peer-reviewed study showing that IVM reduced mortality by 70%, taking a small dose every two weeks as a prophylactic. He said that the suppression of IVM is going to be a huge scandal. I hope he’s right, but since the suppressors still control all communications and the legal system, I doubt that he is.
You never needed the vaccine to begin with from an honest medical perspective. Only real reason was to comply.
