Researchers
from the University of Padua and Imperial College London also found that the
symptoms and severity of a COVID infection have no bearing on a person’s
immunity response. There also was no difference in immunity between people who
had severe symptoms of COVID-19 and those who had no symptoms at all.
Scientists said
behavioral factors that could help reduce the transmission of COVID include
social distancing, limiting the number of contacts and mask wearing, even among
highly vaccinated groups.
"There may
be people who get infected with this variant even though they are vaccinated or
were previously infected, but they shouldn't get severe disease," said
study lead Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a professor of virology at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Tokyo.
