This is GREAT NEWS!

From :

In a study shared online by journal Nature on Monday, scientists reported that messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID vaccines, like those produced by drug companies Pfizer and Moderna, induced a persistent immune response in humans that indicate long-lasting immunity against the virus.
..

The scientists say that vaccinated individuals should essentially be immune to all existing virus variants for the foreseeable future.

….


The researchers that those who have not been infected but have been immunized likely won’t require any additional booster shots to fight against virus variants -- that is, unless variants transform significantly, which is possible.

Good news.

I wouldn't mind having to take a yearly shot though. Just double-up on Flu shot day. But this is certainly better for a global non-selfish perspective.
 
That's excellent news minnie! Thanks for sharing it.

I was willing to get that booster, but I would prefer not getting one. As long as this one works it's magic for a while. :)
 
This is along the lines of the info I got back in January from one of our VP's that was responsible for providing the US and global database software, they said that they believed the vaccines would last over 2 years.
 
I don't care. I want an annual booster shot out of an abundance of caution.
Ha ha, yeah, this pandemic sure makes one feel like getting a ton of whatever they're givin. lol
 
For those so inclined. I have no idea what 'clickondetroit' is.

I agree. One that gives more specific protection against the existing variants.
Also, this is a cell based study. The vaccines haven’t been around long enough for a “real world “ study.
Good news, but I have the attitude of “I’ll believe it when I see it “

May this be true!

This of course might or might not protect against variants, but it would not be a difficult task to reformulate the vaccine to fight against the variant. it would be the same as creating a flu vaccine against a new strain.\
 
If the vaccines minimize the infections in those vaccinated, such would go a long, long way to national health safety.
