"Like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés
Obrador before him, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been infected with
COVID for a second time.

In the middle of this year’s fourth Omicron wave, Albanese’s reinfection should
not come as a surprise. Population antibody surveys have shown roughly half of
Australian adults had COVID at least once by mid-2022.

With Christmas parties and much-needed holidays beckoning, how much effort
should we be putting in to avoid COVID a second (or third) time?

Studies suggest we should care about this, as each reinfection can increase the
risk of poorer health outcomes into the future."
