The study provides evidence that immunity triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection will be extraordinarily long-lasting. Adding to the good news, the implications are that vaccines will have the same durable effect, says Menno van Zelm, an immunologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
Ellebedys team has observed early signs that Pfizers mRNA vaccine should trigger the production of the same cells. But the persistence of antibody production, whether elicited by vaccination or by infection, does not ensure long-lasting immunity to COVID-19. The ability of some emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants to blunt the protective effects of antibodies means that additional immunizations may be needed to restore levels, says Ellebedy. My presumption is, we will need a booster.
