If I’ve tested positive for COVID-19, should I still get vaccinated?
Yes. The CDC recommends that you get vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19, as this provides the best immune protection. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible — although rare — that you could be infected again with the virus that causes COVID-19. Studies have shown that vaccination provides a strong boost in protection in people who have recovered from COVID-19.
