This has become a controversy and confirmatory and convincing information is not fully available. The native infection does produce at least 8-12 months of immunity and the vaccine does add to the protection. Some of us at HT do not see a compelling need for more than one jab, but not clear data. Do discuss with your local doctor and ask opinion regarding CDC guidelines.

Yes, yes, yes. Vaccine is turning out to be MORE protective than natural infection (new information). Get both shots.
