A member asked:

I had two pfizer vaccine doses but then got break through covid in august. should i now get the booster also? or does breakthroughs infection act as booster?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Get the booster as there are no guarantees that your antibodies produced by the breakthrough infection were robust or still effective.

A booster is the best way to build up more antibodies .Even with a booster you can still get a breakthrough, you had the vaccine twice and still got a breakthrough. The more antibodies you have the chances if reinfected, the less the symptoms you will suffer .Always take precautions, wear a mask and stay away from those you don't know.
