Do I still need a coronavirus vaccine or booster if I’ve already had Covid-19?

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.

If anyone is still, seriously, asking this question the COVID booster is the least of their worries.

The experimental injections were worthless - as some of us have been saying all along.

[enumerated]

Just keep dragging you feet and maybe they will drop the vaccination requirement.

The pro-vax people are already looking real foolish. It won’t be long before they drop the whole thing.

One a day keeps the doctor away.

Seriously? Have you had your multiple masks on so tightly that you can’t think or read?

You are GMO, these Covid injections are not vaccines.

Do I still need a coronavirus vaccine or booster if I’ve already had Covid-19?

Excellent question. Here are the relevant guidelines:

According to the experts, your first consideration should in fact pertain to the feelings of insecurity you exhibit by deigning to ask such questions. To alleviate these feelings we recommend taking any of a number of serotonin re-uptake inhibitors available by prescription. Beware generic versions and ingest liberally. For more information see our ad in any number of popular magazines.

As to your inquiry, you express an interest in the opinions of "friends" or "collegues" on critical healt matters, and this in itself can be a dangerous practice. Think of (former President) Trump, who openly and repeatedly advised all Americans to drink copious amounts of bleach! And this, no less, whilst grabbing a pussy and mishandling Top Secret documents at Mar-a-Lago.

The behavior pattern you exhibit by seeking unprofessional advice is in itself a health risk. These risks can initially be reduced by self-isolation but if such behaviors persist they may warrant forced quarantine.

Such public health matters, in a time of National Emergency, are not to be taken lightly. The reduction in numbers of certain types of actors is necessary to preserve public safety.

It is important that all health-conscious individuals be aware of current emergency protocols regarding coronavirus vaccines and boosters, which are as follows:

1. If you have not contracted COVID-19, you will need to receive a coronavirus vaccine or booster, in accordance with federal and local guidelines under the auspices of Moderna, Pfizer, Glaxo Smith-Kline Beecham, Johnson & Johnson, Baxter, or other relevant authorities.

If you have contracted Covid-19 or any variant thereof, you will need to receive a coronavirus vaccine or booster, in accordance with federal and local guidelines under the auspices of Moderna, Pfizer, Glaxo Smith-Kline, Johnson & Johnson, Baxter, etc.

If in doubt as to your health condition or COVID status, be advised:

There are no circumstances under which it is acceptable not to submit to an approved coronavirus vaccine or booster, in accordance with federal and local guidelines under the auspices of Moderna, Pfizer, Glaxo Smith-Kline, Johnson & Johnson, Baxter, or other relevant authorities, or their representatives in Congress.

Be well!

The pro-vax people are already looking real foolish. It won’t be long before they drop the whole thing.

Or they drop dead.

[qaz123]

That’s awesome.

As folks that should be leading the way, I guess it’ll take the President some time to sail across either of the oceans for any foreign travel. Then the horses and carriages required to take him inland. Will the Secret Service recruits get horseback riding lessons.

Might as well reassign the pilots, crew and equipment for Marine 1 and AF1.

Legit going Ol’ Skool….I like it.

These people are just too effin’ dumb.

[drSteve78]

You are so cruel! /s

And literate. Well written. However, there was no mention of the needed mandated (if a Karen says so, is it ‘womandated?) masks!

[ThunderSleeps]

You never needed the vaccine to begin with from an honest medical perspective. Only real reason was to comply.

Yeah, well, I have an independent streak in me. I tend to take the Leonidas viewpoint. "Submission. Now, that's a bit of a problem..."

[wastedyears]

Waiting for the democrat/media/big pharma/Faux-xi cheerleaders on here to say the death serum is perfectly safe with 98% efficacy.

[lakecumberlandvet]

Don’t get the jab regardless of whether you’ve had the covid or not. Period.

[winoneforthegipper]

The big question is how efficient is immune response from a person who was jabbed and still caught covid when compared to an uncompromising non-injected covid sufferer?

[Dutch Boy]

I suspect the flu shot too. Their desire to vaccinate the planet is disproportionate to the problem.

A very interesting question. I can't say where I read it, or how much stock to put in it, but somewhere along the way I read an article which postulated that after the clot shot if you get covid, you don't develop any natural antibodies like you normally would after contracting a virus.

[winoneforthegipper]

A truth we might not ever learn, huh?

[lakecumberlandvet]

Agreed. And there’s a multitude of other vaccines worthy of suspicion.

[ReaganGeneration2]

“Do I still need a coronavirus vaccine or booster”

Yes, so the 2023 digital currency works.

And to speed up the Second Coming.

Another truth I just read was there is an average of 1- 1.35 million doses per eastern state wasting away unused, sitting on the shelves.The public has wised up?
