Natural antibodies from having had COVID do NOT work against some of the newer variants. I know this is the case with the South African variant, possibly others. SO… If one of the new variant starts making inroads where you live, try to get vaccinated since the antibodies created by the vaccine DO work against the new variants (so far).
What they're seeing is that the immune response from natural antibodies is rather limited unless you had a severe case of COVID. So eventually you'll want to get the vaccine to have better antibodies that work better. But for now at least you've got some protection.
