Should those who have had a proven coronavirus infection also be vaccinated? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization say yes; others are not so sure. But the real question we must decide as a society is: Are we going to prepare for a potential infection from immune escape variants that are threatening our shores, or are we going to wait and see what happens, hoping for the best but not preparing for the worst?
Similar to the flu, immunity to last year’s strain does not guarantee immunity to next year’s. Granted the reinfection may be lessened but unlike the flu, even a mild to moderate COVID-19 infection is of concern since this virus can have lasting effects on almost every organ of the body.
