If I’ve already had the coronavirus, can I get it again? It’s possible, but such cases seem to be rare.

In one, only two out of 1,265 health workers in the United Kingdom who were previously infected ended up testing positive again for the coronavirus in the following six months. In another study of people in the U.S., only 0.3% of people who had been infected tested positive for the virus over the next several months – around the same rate of positivity as the U.K study.

The findings bode well for the COVID-19 vaccines that are being rolled out, which trigger the kind of immune responses that the studies found protective.

Vaccine for all, now!!!

My boss had it twice

Yes! You can. A friend just tested positive for the second time this morning. She also was positive roughy two months ago. So, yes, you can get it more than once. It is rare tho.

yeah, sure. . maybe this time you can include the homeless, who seems to be growing in number everyday.

For everyone's safety we should treat it as if you absolutely can get it again or at the very least still be contagious in the weeks after you recover from it.

Why does the graphic only have men in it? Sexist!! Girlcott AP

Perfect tweet for the morons in this country to stop being safe

If you can get it again then how does the vaccine help. Legitimately asking

The bigger question is can you still be asymptomatic and spread it without realizing....

Actually, it is not rare. If your immune system is SEVERELY compromised, you CAN get it twice. Also, with the new strain(s), there is a big possibility.

Sadly, COVID has been mutating. So that means you may get coronavirus again.

Only take the Pfizervaccine the other ones have major side effects

Dangerous tweet AP! 😱

It's called acquired immunity and should have been a bigger focal point to getting our country back open.
