The big COVID-19 question ‘we still don’t have a very clear answer’ on

The Dean of the School of Health Sciences at Swinburne University says a big question still remains about the impact COVID-19 infection has on immunity to the virus in future.

Professor Bruce Thompson says “we still don’t have a very clear answer” on how much protection contracting the virus provides against future COVID-19 infections.

“We’d sincerely hope that if you contract [COVID-19] … we start getting a bit of herd immunity associated with this, especially when we’re getting booster doses as well.

“But I just don’t think we’re quite there yet.”
