Infection with Covid 19, causes some immunity for a short time. This immunity begins waning after about 3 months. The Covid Vaccine offers a much higher level of immunity which lasts longer (time not yet determined, but may be up to a year or more) Having one, then the other will improve your immunity significantly.

When you get vaccinated, and are exposed to COVID for example, does covid initially infect some cells, and then your body quicky resolves it before you come infectious and have any symptoms? If so,does this act as another "booster" and raise antibody?
