Jan 20, 2022 · Q: Does immunity from natural infection last longer than immunity from the vaccine? A: Immunity to coronaviruses wanes with time, regardless of whether that immunity was generated by vaccination or previous infection.
Feb 16, 2023 · Immunity acquired from a Covid infection provides strong, lasting protection against the most severe outcomes of the illness, according to research published Thursday in The Lancet —...

Jan 9, 2023 · One study found that one-dose hybrid immunity with either ChAdOx1, BNT162b2, or mRNA-1273, was associated with a 58.0% lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection than natural immunity for up to 2 months, with evidence of attenuation thereafter up to the 9-month follow-up.
Feb 16, 2023 · For people who have been infected with COVID-19 at least once before, natural immunity against severe disease (hospitalisation and death) was strong and long-lasting for all variants (88% or greater at 10 months post infection).
Apr 20, 2022 · We found that, before the emergence of the omicron variant, natural immunity provided a similar degree of protection against COVID-19 infection as mRNA vaccination.
Jan 24, 2022 · “The most direct conclusion is that for the Delta, and possibly the Omicron, natural immunity confers very strong protection,” said Dr. Iahn Gonsenhauser, the chief quality and patient...

Oct 28, 2021 · While vaccinations are highly effective at protecting against infection and severe COVID-19 disease, our review demonstrates that natural immunity in COVID-recovered individuals is, at least, equivalent to the protection afforded by complete vaccination of COVID-naïve populations.
Hybrid immunity = natural immunity + vaccination. According to an analysis published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, a recent, robust study shows that hybrid immunity is longer lasting and more effective than disease-induced immunity or vaccination alone.
May 28, 2021 · Immunity from natural infection starts to decline after 6 to 8 months. We know that fully vaccinated people still have good immunity after a year—and probably longer. Why is it that the vaccine leads to better immunity than natural infection? The honest truth is, we don’t know.
Jun 22, 2021 · These findings suggest that natural immunity and vaccine-generated immunity to SARS-CoV-2 will differ in how they recognize new viral variants. What’s more, antibodies acquired with the help of a vaccine may be more likely to target new SARS-CoV-2 variants potently, even when the variants carry new mutations in the RBD.
