A study from Oregon Health and Science University is suggesting that breakthrough Covid-19 infections,, infections of vaccinated people, could create “super immunity.” The study was conducted during the Delta Variant spread of Covid. The study does not compare its findings to the natural immunity people get who are infected without the vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccination provides a foundation of protection that’s enhanced by breakthrough infection; ‘the key is to get vaccinated.’
Breakthrough infections greatly enhance immune response to variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a newly published study from Oregon Health & Science University.
The laboratory results, published online ahead of print in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), reveals that a breakthrough infection generates a robust immune response against the delta variant. Authors say the findings suggest the immune response is likely to be highly effective against other variants as the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to mutate.
