Timeline PhotosBecause some people with #COVID19 can have very mild symptoms, some may see natural infection as preferable to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The fact is that natural immunity or protection from COVID-19 is not preferable to getting vaccinated.The risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 outweighs the benefit of natural immunity. Given the variability in immune response, a lot of people who get infected naturally can get reinfected again, in sometimes as short as a few months.Even for those who don’t have specific risk factors for COVID-19 such as chronic illness or older age, there’s no way to predict that they will avoid serious illness. If an individual does develop a mild case of COVID-19, they can still spread the virus to others who may not be as fortunate.
