Ever since the pandemic has struck us in unimaginable ways, worldly affairs have taken an unexpected turn. For the past two years, there has been a vast change in the norms of the world. Never in our wildest dreams, we never thought that we would have to do every single little task, remaining in our homes. Who has thought that they will be required to keep a distance even from their loved ones?

But as technology is developing rapidly, our doctors and scientists have been successful in making the vaccination to this deadly virus. Although, immunity could be increased by including healthy food in our diet, the vaccinations are also here to save the day.

Here, we have described and tried to distinguish between the Covid 19 vaccination and natural immunity.

What is Immunity & Natural Immunity?

The capability a human’s body has to fight the germs entering it is known as Immunity. The body creates some unique proteins called ‘antibodies’ that battle against the germs that penetrated your body previously by recognizing them.

Once you are infected with an illness, your body creates antibodies to protect you from it in the future, and this is known as natural immunity. But it can vary from person to person according to their body type and health. In the case of COVID-19, the natural immunity built by the body after a person is infected with the virus appears to fade away after some time.

What is COVID Vaccine?

Scientists have made the vaccination for the Covid-19 virus which is five times more powerful and effective than a body’s natural immunity. Vассines рrоvide you with а gооd аmоunt оf immunity аgаinst the virus. Fully vассinаted рeорle are less likely tо соntrасt the virus, аnd if they dо sо, they will reсоver fаstly. 

How COVID Vaccination Protect Better Than Natural Immunity?

It has been strongly recommended by various research studies to get a COVID-19 vaccine, whether you have already had the virus or not. The benefits that are acquired when a person is fully vaccinated are as follows:

• According to a report by U.S. Сenters fоr Diseаse Соntrоl аnd Рreventiоn (СDС), getting vассinаted fоr the соrоnаvirus after соntrасting it соnsiderаbly improves your immunity defense mechanism and lowers the chances of reinfection.
• Vaccinations are likely to build stronger immunity, and also provide protection against any new variants of the virus, whereas with only natural immunity, people could get reinfected.
• If you are fully vaccinated, then your chance of spreading the virus to others is very minimal as the vaccine cannot give you the virus.
• Some other findings from CDC have clearly shown that one-third of the people who got Covid-19 don’t even have any apparent natural immunity against the disease.

The Bottom line

With every passing day, a new variant of the virus is discovered but our scientists and doctors are working really hard to diminish this virus from the world. You can play your part by getting fully vaccinated which is the bare minimum.

Although our bodies can develop strong protective immune responses following natural infection with SARS-CoV-2, we cannot rely on natural immunity to protect us from the virus. Thus, it is crucial to get vaccinated, even if you had COVID-19, for your own protection from reinfection and the safety of others.
