COVID-19 survivors may only need one shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine to be protected from the virus, study suggests Researchers looked at 36 people who had previously gotten COVID-19 and 26 people with no known history of the virus COVID-19 survivors had antibody levels after one shot similar to someone who had been severely ill Second shot showed little to not effect in generating antibodies for the COVID survivors  The 26 people with no history of COVID all developed antibody levels similar to someone with a mild infection of the virus after getting the first shot     Results showed antibody levels  naturally decreased by 90% over 85 days, creating the need for a third booster shot in the near future

People who have recovered from COVID-19 may only need one shot of the vaccine, a new study suggests.

Researchers from the University of California Los Angeles found that people who had been previously infected with the virus had sufficient immune responses to combat COVID-19 after only receiving one shot of a two-dose vaccine.

They also found that the second shot provided no additional immunity to the virus.

The findings provide evidence that many more people around the world are protected than previously believed.

It also adds to the conversation on the natural immunity a person can form from COVID-19, and whether or not natural antibodies are sufficient in stopping reinfection.
