Natureand on BioRxiv, a pre-print online research site, both suggest “these cells strengthen over a period of at least a year”, suggesting people “may not need booster shots… for a considerable period of time”, the paper adds.
The studies “looked at people who had been exposed to the coronavirus about a year earlier” and found “cells that retain a memory of the virus persist in the bone marrow and may churn out antibodies whenever needed”, The New York Times (NYT) says.
“These so-called memory B cells continue to mature and strengthen for at least 12 months” after infection or vaccination, the paper adds.
Immunity to the coronavirus lasts at least a year, possibly a lifetime, improving over time especially after vaccination, according to two new studies. The findings may help put to rest lingering fears that protection against the virus will be short-lived.
Together, the studies suggest that most people who have recovered from Covid-19 and who were later immunised will not need boosters.
Vaccinated people who were never infected most likely will need the shots, however, as will a minority who were infected but did not produce a robust immune response.
Both reports looked at people who had been exposed to the coronavirus about a year earlier. Cells that retain a memory of the virus persist in the bone marrow and may churn out antibodies whenever needed, according to one of the studies, published on Monday in the journal Nature.

About the talk: “Utilizing systems thinking to gain insights around inclusive engagement in institutions. Suggesting a path to reduce the impacts of racism by examining our personal views and the social dynamics for those in the system.
