Is it possible to get "superimmunity" against coronavirus? A study by scientists at Oregon Health & Science University has shown that those who have tested positive for COVID-19, caused by the Omicron strain, can acquire increased resistance to future varieties of the virus after being vaccinated.
According to Business Insider, vaccinated patients who had COVID-19 during the spread of the delta strain received up to 1000% more effective protection than after the second shot with the Pfizer vaccine.
According to scientists, natural protection in those who have had the disease develops only normal immunity, and superimmunity"will only develop if vaccinated after the disease.
The study co-author Fikadu Tafesse said that not only the level of antibodies becomes high, but also the ability to cross-neutralize different strains of the virus.
