Concerns regarding immunity conferred by previous infection compared to vaccination.
“Infection with SARS-CoV-2 results in future protection that lasts at least 3 months and appears not to decline over 6 months.
The protection is comparable to that attained through vaccination.
There is reduction in protection for our older patients; prioritization of vaccine to individuals aged ≥65 years is reasonable, even when there is a past history of COVID-19.
Additional research is needed to understand the longer-term durability of protective immunity following infection.”
