Is natural immunity enough protection?

Studies indicate that vaccine-induced immunity provides superior protection

Prior infection with the COVID-19 virus does provide some immunity to reinfection. Studies indicate that vaccine-induced immunity provides superior protection and there is not increased risk of vaccination for those with prior infection. It is recommended by the CDC that all Americans 12 years of age and older receive a vaccine active against COVID. These vaccines have been some of the most intensely studied in medical history and are not experimental vaccines.
