A new study has said that unvaccinated people are at higher risk of reinfection from Covid-19. It is said that such people face a double risk of reinfection. The latest study was conducted by the US CDC. It is said that it is important to vaccinate people to cut the risk of reinfection in unvaccinated people. It said that all eligible people should take the vaccine at the earliest. It added that even recovered people from Covid-19 infection should take the doses. According to the CDC, the vaccine is the strongest weapon to fight the deadly virus. The CDC study found that reinfection was 2.31 times higher in unvaccinated people than those fully vaccinated.

The CDC said that clinical evidence is available to suggest that antibody developed after vaccination provides better protection than natural infection. It said that studies show the benefit of vaccination in people who were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. It causes Covid-19 infection. It causes the respiratory syndrome, affecting the lung, and drops the oxygen level. The CDC study involved 246 people. All were previously infected with Covid-19 in 2020. It compiled and studied the data about vaccination and reinfection in the participants. The study was done in May and June this year. The findings suggest that full vaccination gives an additional level of protection against reinfection.

The CDC said that reinfection in the participants was not confirmed through whole-genome sequencing. This didn’t confirm the primary reason behind reinfection. Genome sequencing can tell if reinfection was caused due to a distinct virus than the first infection. It also highlighted the challenges behind determining the exact level of infection. According to the CDC, fully vaccinated people are less likely to get tested for infection. This causes a data deficit between reinfection and lack of vaccination. The CDC suggested that studies should be done with large populations to support the latest findings. The US remains the worst affected nation due to Covid-19. It accounts for the highest cases and deaths in the world.
