Vaccine-induced immunity provides more protection than infection- induced immunity against laboratory confirmed Sars-Cov-2 virus, according to recent CDC report.
The researchers found, of the unvaccinated adults who had coronavirus at least 3 months prior to the new hospital admission, 8.7 percent tested positive for coronavirus again. Meanwhile, a lesser percent of those who were fully vaccinated with the mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), and had no prior infection, 5.1 percent, tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on the CDC website.
The report stated that the "vaccine-induced immunity was more protective than infection-induced immunity against laboratory-confirmed COVID-19."
