Wanghuaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and prevention, introduced that we are still in the process of continuously understanding the Omicron mutant. Theoretically, infection with the virus will produce natural immunity, but this is not our choice. On the one hand, infection can lead to severe illness and death, especially for chronic patients and the elderly. It is a dangerous choice if they are immunized by natural infection without vaccination. On the other hand, the Omicron mutant has undergone great variation. At present, it is uncertain how effective the immunity generated after natural infection is in the mutant.
