How (multiple) COVID infections impact your immune system

Chris Lindley, Chief Population Officer and epidemiologist at Vail Health, speaks with Caitlyn Ngam, infection preventionist at Vail Health, to discuss new research that indicates that multiple COVID-19 infections can have a negative impact on your immune system, and being able to fight disease (not just COVID.) Chris and Caitlyn recommend staying up on your vaccinations, masking (especially if you are immunocompromised), and maintaining healthy habits, such as rigorous exercise, to stay healthy.
Are people becoming sick more often, experiencing more severe symptoms and having more difficulty treating viral infections after having had COVID-19? If so, why? Epidemiologists, immunologists, and other experts discuss increasing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can cause immune dysregulation for several months after infection. How should Ontarians protect themselves over the fall and winter months?
