Catching Covid-19 gives you the same protection against getting a second infection as being double-vaxxed.
People who have had Covid are 71 percent less likely to catch the infection again, while being double-vaxxed, either with the Pfizer or AstraZeneca jabs, reduces the risk of infection by 67 percent.
The UK’s Office for National Statistics, which has been tracking Covid infections and deaths, has said there is no evidence that vaccines offer greater protection than catching the virus—and the vaccine’s protection wanes over time, and could fall to just 16 percent after six months, as Israeli researchers reported recently.
It isn’t clear how long natural immunity lasts, but some researchers estimate it can be anything from 12 months to two years.
The ONS had analysed more than 8000 cases of the Delta variant between May and August.
