Covid infection plus double vaccine gives maximum protection: UK study
A new study revealed that recovery after a previous Covid infection followed by being double vaccinated increases an individual’s protection against Covid-19 to as much as 94 per cent.
“The good news this week is our latest research shows having a natural Covid-19 infection before double vaccination means greater protection,” said Professor Tim Spector, lead scientist on the ZOE Covid Study app.
“This is really positive news for overall immunity levels in the UK and means that large numbers of people will have effective and long-lasting protection from Covid-19,” he said.
“The evidence supports the need for vaccination, even for those who have already had Covid-19. We need to be less complacent and without restrictions, much more focus needs to be put on getting everyone vaccinated before winter to keep up with other countries” efforts,” he added.
