The gist is that the available studies show the vaccine to confer greater immunity than prior infection
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert here, but isn't the point of the vaccine to elicit an immune response from your body, mimicking your body's response to the actual virus?

How does that differ from your body actually eliciting an immune response from getting the virus?

I would think your body fighting the actual virus would produce better immunity than getting a shot of the watered down virus. That being said, I'm nowhere close to a healthcare related field
