Reinfections - M_T - 06-11-2021
Some of you may remember that I had a relative that got Covid in August 2020? Â She has it again in June 2021, 10 months later. Â She did not get a vaccination.
As I've referenced before, a Denmark study reported an effectiveness against reinfection of 80% by a 6-month prior infection.
Another study found 82%.
Fortunately, her parents have mRNA vaccinations (91% effective). Â Unfortunately, her kids are too young to be vaccinated. Â They could be vectors to expose their grandparents to COVID. Â 91% is not 100%
As a reminder, the CDC recommends the vaccine for those that previously had COVID (once they are well).
