@jaspergregory Nope, that's why there are booster shots, and why you can develop stuff like shingles (resurgent chicken pox) in old age.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@jaspergregory Partial immunity makes you less likely to get infected, & (usually) less seriously if you do. There's a lot of math involved.
