COVID-19 has a phenomenon known as "Super Immunity," and it focuses on the study that discovered a surge in antibodies in a person for as much as 2,000 percent. Getting super immunity is possible through getting infected after being fully vaccinated against the virus, more like a "practical approach" or real-world situation.

In this picture taken on April 29, 2020, an engineer works at the Quality Control Laboratory on an experimental vaccine for the COVID-19 coronavirus at the Sinovac Biotech facilities in Beijing. - Sinovac Biotech, which is conducting one of the four clinical trials that have been authorised in China, has claimed great progress in its research and promising results among monkeys.

A report by USA Today focused on the latest findings in COVID-19, as conducted by Oregon-based researchers that looked into COVID-19's "Super Immunity." The study focuses on the antibody production of a person fully vaccinated against the virus, meaning that they have already received two vaccine shots. 

The study stated that a 2,000 percent surge in antibodies appears whenever a fully-vaccinated person gets infected by the virus. This means that the vaccines are effective and can protect against COVID-19.

It also answers the question that people can still get infected by COVID even after getting the vaccine. However, the public would not receive its worse fallout but naturally, expel it from their system.

COVID-19 and its Infection Rate in the Country

The reports focused on the massive infection rate of Omicron in the country, and with New York being the epicenter in the country, states have been asking for more testing and priority in their healthcare. The massive infection rate also looks into the mandate of masks in public places again, especially now that the holidays are near. 

COVID-19 Omicron Variant: Can Super Immunity Protect Against It?

From October to early November, the Omicron variant of the virus first showed its fangs to the public, and its horror of infection spread throughout different regions of the world. It reached the country towards the middle to end of November, and it has become a problem ever since as it is unexpected despite the many precautions against it.

The new variant is the topmost infectious strain of the virus, bringing a massive problem for the world, which initially thought it was healing from the pandemic. The Omicron brought a lot of issues to the world, including doubts on the current health solutions to the virus, including the vaccine and health organizations that focus on it. 

The question now is, will the Super Immunity discovered by researchers be that effective or protective from the Omicron variant? The answer lies in the studies, which would happen soon, as it opened up different opportunities that await a look into the new antibody production, which would help in understanding protecting more against the virus.
