"Nearly four years into the pandemic, Australia, like many other countries, is
still seeing large numbers of COVID cases. Some 860,221 infections were
recorded around the country in 2023, while 30,283 cases have already been
reported in 2024.

This is likely to be a significant underestimate, with fewer people testing and
reporting than earlier in the pandemic. But the signs suggest parts of
Australia are experiencing yet another COVID surge.

While some lucky people claim to have never had COVID, many are facing our
second, third or even fourth infection, often despite having been vaccinated.
You might be wondering, how long does immunity last after a previous infection
or vaccination?

Let’s take a look at what the evidence shows."
