Covid or another one, your body develops some protection. but what we dont know enough about is how durable that protection is. what weve seen looking at other populations, there has been some variation in protection after infection, depending on age and the severity of illness. so we arent as confident in the quality and durability of protection after infection. so thats why were still recommending vaccines. vaccines have been heavily studied. we understand what kind of protection they render. ...
