Bureaucratic thinking perhaps.

Natural immunity (when confirmed by previous PCR test only unfortunately) is recognized in European Union but at the moment only up to 6 months.

Primarily because recognizing natural immunity will reduce the likelihood constituents will opt for booster shots every six months.
