Suara.com – The results of a survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 100 regencies/cities showed that 86.6 percent of the population had antibodies to the corona virus. Some people may also have super immunity or super immunity caused antibody double the vaccine and natural infection.
Epidemiologist Griffith University Australia dr. Dicky Budiman explained, super immunity is the presence of strong immunity against many variants that develop. Currently, there are approximately 23 variants of the SARS Cov-2 corona virus that have been detected.
People who have super immunity are said to be able to fight infections from all these variants.
“In fact it is also called strong not only because of the current variant, but also against the potential for the following or new variants. It occurs in people who have received a complete vaccination, so 2 doses, and he is finally infected,” said doctor Dicky to Suara.com , Thursday (6/1/2022).

The infection after the two doses of vaccination has the potential to increase antibodies by up to 1000 percent, even though the symptoms are mild, said doctor Dicky.
“The key here is vaccination. So don’t be distracted by getting infected or infecting yourself, that’s a ridiculous name, the consequences will be fatal. So the basic thing is that you have to be fully vaccinated first, that’s something that everyone must understand,” he said.
“Don’t think that you are infected with Omicron in order to get super immunity, that’s a wrong understanding. Because only people who have been fully vaccinated and then infected can benefit,” added Dr. Dicky.
Although it is called strong immunity, the results of various studies show that the protection or duration of the corona virus antibodies is proven to be no more than one year. According to doctor Dicky, so far the average antibody protection only lasts for 7 months.
