Good question, bad answer! No one really knows. Depends on which strain (variant) infection was originally caused by, which new strain you’re concerned about now.. How long since original infection? Your genotype (HLA area in your genes), T cell vs B cell immunity. Mostly no answers to these and other issues. Check back 30-50 yrs - no problem
