A member asked:
What if you get covid a few days after bivalent booster? do you need to get another booster or will your immune system still make a good response from the vax (even tho it hasnt been 2 wks post vax) while its also fighting active covid infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I’m this scenario you would not need another booster after catching Covid. Both vaccine & natural infection are challenges to the immune system that translate into reduced risk of severe infection in the future.
