finding shows that a prior COVID-19 infection does not protect you as well as
getting the vaccine.
CDC
researchers looked at more than 7,000 adults hospitalized with COVID-19.
Researchers
say unvaccinated patients who recovered from COVID-19 were five times more
likely to test positive.
That
result is compared to those who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine and had
no history of a coronavirus infection.
