A second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to individuals infected with the virus shortly after receiving the first dose, according to findings recently published by the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine of Bar-Ilan University and Ziv Medical Center.
The study, published in the journal Epidemiology & Infection, tracked a cohort of 541 Ziv Medical Center health care workers — some of whom had already recovered from COVID-19 — to determine how those previously infected with COVID-19 responded to vaccination compared to those who weren’t infected.
