The natural immunity provided by COVID-19 infection in unvaccinated adults is on par with protection conferred from vaccines against reinfection with or hospitalization from the virus, a new study reveals. Immunity from COVID-19 was also shown to persist longer than vaccine-induced immunity.
“We found that, before the emergence of the Omicron variant, natural immunity provided a similar degree of protection against COVID-19 infection as mRNA vaccination,” summarized study author Dr. Ari Robicsek.
Dr. Robicsek is the chief medical analytics officer for the Providence health system, one of the largest health systems in the United States, which published the study in collaboration with researchers from the University of Chicago.
The study – “Rates of COVID-19 Among Unvaccinated Adults With Prior COVID-19” – found that unvaccinated adults with prior COVID-19 infection had an 85 percent lower risk of acquiring COVID-19 than unvaccinated individuals without previous infection.
“The findings that patients with prior COVID-19 had 88% protection against hospitalization for COVID-19 and 83% protection against COVID-19 not requiring hospitalization suggest that natural immunity was associated with similar protection against mild and severe disease,” explained the study.
