However vaccinated individuals experience mild side effects that last a few days. So vaccines are safer for people with weak immune systems. Although old vaccines and infections are less effective against virus variants, overall protection is higher for vaccinated people than those who are unvaccinated when infected. That is, best protection combines both vaccine and infection immunity.
