Because experts don’t yet know how long you’re protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19, you should still get the vaccine. And fortunately, there’s no evidence suggesting that having COVID before interferes with how effectively the vaccine works. There’s also no evidence that having had COVID-19 will make you more likely to experience side effects from the vaccine. So roll up that sleeve and get your shot. It’s the best way to protect yourself and those around you.
