People infected with the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus show poor immunity-boosting against future Covid-19 infection, according to a new study.
The research, published in the journal Science, assessed how people’s immunity following vaccination offers protection against the Sars-CoV-2 virus as well as the protection offered by prior infection.
While recovery post contracting Covid-19 is thought to provide a natural immunity boost against future infection with the virus, scientists, including those from Imperial College London, say Omicron provides a poor natural boost of Covid-19 immunity against re-infection.
