Here s what we asked, and how they responded:
If you or a friend or colleague or family member had COVID-19 already, would you get or tell
them to get the vaccine anyway?

We are hoping that the vaccine will provide longer lasting immunity. So far, the antibody responses to the vaccine seem to last longer than the antibody responses to natural infection.
