Israelis who recovered from COVID-19 and were vaccinated with a single dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine are far better protected against reinfection than those who only have natural immunity, a large-scale Israeli study found.

The study, published this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine, reported those who were vaccinated after infection were 82 percent less likely to contract the virus following their initial bout.

The study also found people who received a vaccine shot after recovering from COVID-19 were 76% less likely to have a symptomatic case of coronavirus than those who were unvaccinated.
