A new study found that people who were both vaccinated and had a prior COVID-19 infection had the most protection against the coronavirus last summer and fall.

During that time, COVID-19 rates in both states were highest among unvaccinated people without a prior COVID-19 diagnosis. By the end of May, COVID-19 cases were lower among vaccinated people without a prior infection than unvaccinated people with or without a prior infection. Hospitalization rates were similar.
“Importantly, infection-derived protection was higher after the Delta variant became predominant, a time when-induced immunity for many persons declined because of immune evasion and immunologic waning,” the researchers wrote.
