Immunity is strengthened and extended by the vaccine
Misconception: That you have guaranteed immunity against falling ill again once you have had the virus.
Facts: Studies show that immunity after having Covid-19 often decreases over time. The vaccination means that your protection is strengthened and lasts longer.
HOW TO REASON WITH SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN THIS MYTH
– I don’t need to get vaccinated because I have already had Covid-19!
– The vaccine strengthens and extends your protection against the disease.
Some people say that you do not need to get vaccinated after having had Covid-19, but that is not true. You often have some immunity once you have had Covid-19, but there are two important reasons to still get vaccinated.
– What are they then?
– The first is that the protection is strengthened after the vaccination.
The second is that the protection lasts for an extended period of time.
