Immunity to Coronavirus Could Last for Years, New Studies Find

Immunity to Coronavirus Could Last for Years, , New Studies Find.

Two new studies have found that immunity to coronavirus likely lasts for at least a year, .

And has the potential to last much longer, depending on whether or not a person recovered from the virus and also received the vaccine.

People who were infected and get vaccinated really have a terrific response, a terrific set of antibodies, because they continue to evolve their antibodies, Michel Nussenzweig, Rockefeller University Immunologist, via 'The New York Times'.

One of the studies was published in the journal 'Nature,' while the other was posted to the biology research site BioRxiv.

The papers are consistent with the growing body of literature that suggests that immunity elicited by infection and vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 appears to be long-lived, Scott Hensley, University of Pennsylvania Immunologist, via 'The New York Times'.

The studies concluded that those who received the vaccine but did not contract the virus will likely need subsequent booster shots.

These studies present the first concrete findings that immunity to the coronavirus is long-lasting
