In a new study published Monday, scientists said that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines present a ‘persistent immune response to COVID.
IF this is true, it eliminates the need for vaccine boosters as early as this Fall.
It’s a good sign for how durable our immunity is from this vaccine,” Ali Ellebedy, an immunologist at Washington University in St. Louis, who led the study, told The New York Times.
How did they discover this when we’re only known about COVID for a little over a year? Researchers said that they discovered found that the so-called ‘germinal centers’ in participants’ lymph nodes were ‘highly active nearly four months after the first dose of vaccine’ which indicates that fully vaccinated people could have long-term protection.
