New study: vaccine protection against COVID-19 short-lived, booster shots important

Researchers from Yale School of Public Health and UNC Charlotte have an answer regarding the uncertainty as to how long COVID vaccine protection lasts, and when it might be necessary for individuals to get an additional booster shot.

Strong protection following vaccination is short-lived.

The researchers’ study is the first to quantify the likelihood of future infection following natural infection or vaccination by the Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
