Hi. I have recently had Covid for the first time (triple jabbed) was thinking that I would be safe for a while. Then a colleague who had it 4 weeks ago has just tested positive again. Has anybody else experienced this?

Took about 8 weeks for me.

Yep DS not vaccinated due to age twice in 31 days.

Four weeks! 12 weeks for my 3 year old and I thought that was bad enough.

Is each subsequent infection milder than the previous one?

I've only had Covid once, but I know a couple of people who've only had around 6 weeks between infections.

We all had it in September for the first time (presumably delta) but not had it since despite myself (I'm a TA) and the dcs being frequent close contacts of people who tested positive. Most people I know have only had it once.

For my son, no. First time he was only ill for 24 hours - snotty and a high fever overnight. Second time he was ill (and miserable) for 48 hours, fever for 24 hours, snotty and coughing for a few days.

Thankfully both mild infections, no worse than a normal bad cold. But he was noticeably worse the second time. I'm assuming they were Omicron BA1 and BA2, based on timing.

6 weeks for my preschooler DS....worse the second time round

Bang on 90 days for me… literally to the day. It’s like it was waiting to reinfect me Angry

8 weeks between infections with my dd.
Worth noting she is 10 and unvaccinated.

Definitely for my dd.

76 days, triple jabbed prior to first infection. Both fortunately fairly mild

Yes DS was negative on antigen and symptom free about 3 days later.

DS 90 days and far worse the second time, but the first time he had only sniffles. Second time 3 days in bed too tired to play on Xbox Shock
