COVID-19 immunity may help protect against other bat coronaviruses

COVID-19 immunity shows cross-reactivity against related bat coronaviruses

People who recovered from COVID-19 infection or were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 are more likely to have immunity to other closely related bat coronaviruses that could have the potential to threaten future human health.
