If your child has already had COVID-19
It’s possible to catch COVID-19 more than once.
Children who have previously had COVID-19 can get their recommended vaccinations against COVID-19 3 months after infection.
Natural immunity varies between people. Vaccination, on the other hand, provides a strong immune response and excellent protection against reinfection and serious illness.
The latest COVID-19 Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 in NSW are highly transmissible and have been shown to reinfect people who have previously had COVID-19 as quickly as 4 weeks after infection.
Vaccination is a safe and consistent way to protect children. Vaccination will give your family an extra layer of protection and reduce the chance of reinfection.
