  • Scientists have reported that the vaccines made by Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) - BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) and Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) produce a persistent immune reaction in the body that may protect against the coronavirus for years, The New York Times reports.
  • According to study, immune cells located in the bone marrow keep a “memory” of the coronavirus and are able to create protective antibodies to prevent reinfection.
  • “Usually by four to six weeks, there’s not much left,” said Deepta Bhattacharya, an immunologist at the University of Arizona. But germinal centers stimulated by the mRNA vaccines are “still going, months into it, and not a lot of decline in most people.”
 
This is a good news for people like me who took full doses of Pfizer vaccine (or Moderna).
 
For Normal Covid 19, different mutated strains might be a different matter. Also mRNA vaccines are too new so it's all theory.
