A US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report adds to growing laboratory evidence that people who had one bout of COVID-19 get a dramatic boost in virus-fighting immune cells when they're vaccinated.

But in a separate study published Friday in JAMA Network Open, Rush University researchers reported just one vaccine dose gave the previously infected people a dramatic boost in virus-fighting immune cells, more than those who had never been infected got from two shots.

It's what virologist Shane Crotty of California's La Jolla Institute for Immunology calls "hybrid immunity". One warning for anyone thinking of skipping vaccination if they had a prior infection: the amount of natural immunity can vary from person to person, possibly depending on how sick they were to begin with.

Why do many of the previously infected have such a robust response to vaccination? It has to do with how the immune system develops multiple layers of protection.

US has too many vaccines. Why don't Australia ask more vaccines? This is the top priority. So sad to see people die from blood clotting.

More junk science propagated by the ABC.

Fair point.🤔

fantastic, just make sure your doctor/GP/whoever gives it to you sign this document beforehand

LOL get your natural resistance smeared by chemical shit, don't !!!

Injecting a substance that didn't work in the first place sound rather stupid

Let’s go with dose 1 Pfizer/Modena, dose 2 AZ, dose 3 Novavax.

And they call this...science? deGrasse Tyson must be proud.

Wow cool! its on the ABC so its true
