UNC Charlotte Study Finds COVID Reinfection Likely For Unvaccinated

Strong protection following natural COVID infection is short-lived, according to scientists at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Yale School of Public Health. “We tend to think about immunity as being immune or not immune. Our study cautions that we instead should be more focused on the risk of reinfection through time,” said Alex Dornburg, assistant professor of bioinformatics and genomics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The study, published in the journal The Lancet Microbe, is the first to determine the likelihood of reinfection following natural infection and without vaccination.
