If you've recovered from a COVID-19 infection how long does your natural immunity last? Here's what the research says about this.

Date Time Positive signs of immunity after COVID-19 infection Australian scientists have described the evolution of immunity levels up to four months following COVID-19 infection, finding that while antibody levels drop dramatically in the first one to two months, the decrease then slows down substantially. The findings suggest that protective COVID-19 vaccines should ideally generate stronger antibody responses than natural infection. The research, led by Professor Stephen Kent from the Dohert...
