Vaccination after Covid infection leads to substantial expansion of CD8+ T cells

nature.com/articles/s41590-023

@erictopol Am I correct in taking this to mean that it's never too late to get vaccinated, because even if someone puts off getting vaccinated until after getting infected, it still boosts their chance of surviving? [Edited to change "I'm" to "Am" as the first word.]

@EvilKiru @erictopol Yes. Previous research showed that vaccines before or after infection, or getting vaccinations and boosters, all decrease severe disease and hospitalization. Plus, the latest booster is a good match for the latest strain.

@erictopol

Does this new study also mean that the 6-months-minimum waiting period after an infection propagated last year before getting a booster shot is off the table as well and that you should get a #booster right after having completely recovered from a #Covid19 infection?!?
