Hello; Already been addressed. Natural immunity and vaccine immunity for covid in particular are both new and the lasting effect question is ongoing. Week by week, month by month the lasting will be checked.oOoops! This from the Cleveland clinic...emphasis mine,
Cleveland Clinic recommends those who are eligible receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
In June, we shared research that provided insight into how the immune system protects the body after a confirmed COVID-19 infection. The study followed Cleveland Clinic caregivers over five months as the vaccination process was beginning. The data showed that the vaccine was extremely effective in preventing COVID-19 infection. In addition, during the study, none of the employees who had confirmed positive PCR tests and remained unvaccinated were re-infected. It’s important to note that this study was conducted in late 2020 and early 2021, before the emergence of the Delta variant.
More research is needed. We do not know how long the immune system will protect itself against re-infection after COVID-19, as our study only looked at individuals over a five-month period, or how well-protected previously infected individuals are against variants. It is also important to keep in mind that this study was conducted in a population that was younger and healthier than the general population.
It is safe to receive the COVID-19 vaccine even if you have previously tested positive, and we recommend all those who are eligible receive it.

Interesting, huh?
While the mRNA immunity is new, natural immunity is not.
If the virus mutates enough neither natural nor shot immunity will continue to work. Same for both. We appear to be lucky with the delta as both types of immunity are still appearing to help with delta.
I do not know why after a study determines natural immunity is good and robust, that they still suggest getting a shot. Maybe a CYA thing. Maybe to stay in good graces with the rest of the community? Maybe if they figure the shots are truly safe , they think having a shot will do no harm. So why not. I do not know why these statements are added. Maybe it is like all those safety warning stickers on so many products.
