In conclusion, the second dosage increased the number of T cells but not their quality in infection-naïve people, while it had no effect on convalescents.
With phenotypic characteristics indicating greater long-term persistence and the capacity to home to the respiratory system, including the nasopharynx,
Spike-specific T lymphocytes from convalescent vaccinees were significantly different from those of infection-naïve vaccinees.
Since the virus is known to transmit via the nasopharynx, it is evident that those who have already been infected are much.
Safer to be around than those who have not had the vaccination. This is because natural infection produces mucosal immunity that is far greater.
