Q: Is it still necessary to wear masks after vaccination?

Q: Is it necessary for people who had COVID-19 or were asymptomatic carriers to get vaccinated?

A: While there were some cases of COVID-19 reinfection around the globe, most people who have had the virus produced the corresponding antibodies, similar to getting a vaccine, and therefore they are not advised to get vaccinated.
