Months after recovering from mild COVID-19 infection, people still have immune cells in their body generating antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19

Vitamin D May Not Provide Protection from COVID-19 Severity

Though observational studies showed increased vitamin D levels may protect against COVID-19, genetic evidence does not support the idea, a new study published in PLOS Medicine reports.
