Unvaccinated persons are more than twice as probably to be reinfected with Covid-19 as the totally vaccinated, a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mentioned Friday.
The agency mentioned the obtaining supports its recommendation “that all eligible persons be offered Covid-19 vaccination, regardless of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection status.”
Some US politicians, which includes Senator Rand Paul, have in the previous mentioned they do not strategy to take a Covid-19 vaccine due to the fact of their all-natural immunity derived from prior infection.
The new study was based on 246 Kentucky adults who have been reinfected in May and June this year following previously becoming infected in 2020.
They have been compared with 492 “controls” who have been matched by sex, age, and time of initial positive test.
The evaluation located that unvaccinated persons have been 2.34 instances as probably to be reinfected compared to persons totally vaccinated with the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
The duration of infection-acquired immunity remains poorly understood and could be impacted by the emergency of newer variants, the paper mentioned.
For instance, laboratory research have shown that blood samples from persons previously infected with the original Wuhan strain had poor antibody responses to the Beta variant initial identified in South Africa.
One of the limitations of the study is it was carried out just before Delta became the dominant strain in the United States.
