What about both? I have both past infection and I'm double vaxxed. Based on the data, should I get boosted? From what I'm reading the answer is yes but does anybody have an estimation of my protection right now?

It is called hybrid immunity and it is much longer lasting https://www.news-medical.net/news/20211202/Hybrid-immunity-provides-the-highest-and-most-durable-immunity-against-SARS-CoV-2-infection.aspx https://www.news-medical.net/news/20211202/Hybrid-immunity-p... "The overall protection provided by two doses of ChAdOX1 was considerably lower than that given by BNT162b2. However, infection-acquired immunity boosted with vaccination-induced immunity remained high over a year after infection. Based on these observations, the authors recommend the strategic use of booster vaccines to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in the population."

  Is there any indication if double-vax + exposure carries similar benefit? My wife had 2x Pfizer and then she and our kids got delta. I had 2x Moderna and never had symptoms and tested negative 3 times. No quarantining whatsoever -- slept in the same bed as my wife, the kids still crawled all over me. I still got boosted a few weeks ago, but I've been curious if living in a sick-house with 100% certainty of exposure would carry its own booster effect.

  Well I had a pretty bad second dose response. I was bedridden for a week. That said, my COVID infection was far worse and I'm still struggling with long COVID today. I guess I'm going to have trouble taking a shot (active decision) I know I'll respond badly, albeit temporarily, to. As opposed to waiting around (passive decision) and trying my chances with COVID a second time. Now that I'm writing this all out, I think I'll get my booster, maybe a fourth if I can weasel my way in.

    You might not have a strong reaction this time. Hard to tell. I would still go for it and just make some arrangements just in case it’s a tough ride.
