Welcome... a month ago together with my family we went through covid, we are not vaccinated, the doctor recommended to do it after 3 months ... does this mean that we are safe now? More and more cases with a new variant, do our antibodies that we now have protect us in some way?

Until now, it was believed that re-getting sick (reinfection) up to six months after the disease is unlikely (but not impossible). Currently, a new variant of Omikron, different from the previous ones and with a huge infectivity, is a topic of discussion when it comes to the level of protection that both natural and that which can be provided by available vaccines can provide. It is worth noting that in some recovered patients, protective antibodies are not detected after getting sick or their number is small. On the other hand, there are no standards that show how much antibodies are sufficient. Therefore, among other things, it is not recommended to perform this test in order to make a decision about vaccination. There is information that getting sick with the Delta variant may not be enough not to get sick with the Omikron variant. At the same time, it is believed that good protection can be provided by the so-called hybrid immunity, i.e. a combination of getting sick and taking a vaccine. Therefore, I am afraid that there is no way to assure you of full safety in connection with covid-19. Currently, it is recommended to vaccinate at the earliest 30 days after obtaining a positive test result for the PRESENCE OF THE SARS-CoV-2 virus, at the same time no later than within the next 3-6 months. The decision on the date of vaccination should be made individually depending on the general state of health of the patient.
