So like alot of people I'm isolating
As shit as it is, it's not about me it's about everyone else!!
My question is though does anyone know how soon after your isolating period can you have your booster?
Thanks in advance

Natural infection provides a level of resistance to symptoms, whereas the booster carries a higher level of resistance to symptoms. It’s belt and braces.
Also if you’ve had one variant of Covid it’s currently unclear how that acquired temporary immunity provides protection against symptoms from other variants, so there is an additional benefit to the booster. |

Once you have been infected with covid and have natural immunity the booster i would say is just a personal choice just like the yearly flu jab. |

Natural infection immunity varies wildly both in strength and length of time. "
Which is different to vaccine induced immunity how?

There is a lot less variation in vaccine induced immunity. |

The vaccines have a reasonably known standard of response, for those with and without prior infections, or for 2nd and booster doses.
This makes our natural responses to be more reliably predictable than following an infection, where our immune responses appear more variable.
The great news is that our immunity is especially strong, when this approach is taken - likely stronger than from infection or vaccination alone. Boosters provide outstanding levels of immunity and correspondingly even better than following an infection.
Remember, immunity after infection is variable, from low to higher. Vaccine driven immunity is more standard, at high levels, everything else being equal. |
