Natural immunity is NOT a good substitute for vaccination. ♀️
Natural immunity means exposing yourself and those around you to an unpredictable virus which could cause severe illness, lifelong health repercussions, or death.
Vaccination is predictable and safe. Vaccines can protect against variants like Delta, and can provide excellent protection against reinfection for people who have already had COVID.
Hoping for a COVID infection as a path to immunity is reckless. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and those around you.
