Antibodies tend to decrease about six months after the second shot of a vaccine. Many doctors think that booster shots are the solution, but some researchers are also looking into whether T-cells can help.
Judge jeanine: there was a 2y from the cleveland children -- there was a study from the cleveland clinic that said if you have the antibody all you need from pfizer is the first shot and that's enough. but it appears with the delta variant you have to have the t-cells as well. so i guess we have to convince people the antibodies aren't enough. there are t-cells we need to fight the virus. >> one of the biggest failures of our medical leadership is ignoring natural immune new. it's about half of the unvaccinated. many of them have circulating antibodies and some of us doctors recommend one shot...

>> we should actually though relatively soon. those clinical trial participant s last summer are still being stud discussed. so we'll see if boosters or if they are having waning immunity, if boosters will be required. i think most likely that they will be required, but we don't know if it will be a year, two years or three years. and i come back to the vaccines are highly effective and that often these tests are measuring antibody response but our immune system is very complex. there are memory b cells, memory t cells that last and memory for the immune system for actually years, sometimes de...
