COVID-19 vaccines help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness.
Scientists are monitoring how long COVID-19 vaccine protection lasts. COVID-19 vaccines work well to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death. However, public health experts are seeing decreases in the protection COVID-19 vaccines provide over time, especially for certain groups of people.
Like all vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection. Some people who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations will get COVID-19 breakthrough infection.
No... the life of the vaccine we were originally inoculated with, the Alpha variant, had six months. Conclusive tests in Israel saw that the second shot to the Alpha variant, also offered six months protection. Then six months passed. We all went for the booster. At that time the virus morphed into Beta, the first booster worked well against beta, Then we started to see Delta and Beta. The booster and original vaccines still offered robust protection against all variants however more testing found that the first booster only offered 4 months against Omicron, then it morphed to B2 , B4 and now B5.
B5 infects at a rate of 10,000 times faster than the original. The vaccine boosters offer only 20% protection, just enough to keep you out of the hospital. However again the game changer is Paxlovid the pill you take in the first 5 days. I will keep on spreading the word. It is important for all. If you get a fever, feel like your throat is on fire, raspy in the chest, test your self. Everyone should have several home testers. If you are positive call the doctor immediately. CVS generally carries a healthy amount. You MUST take this immediately it will not work after 5 days, and workd much quicker if you take it the first or second day. In the fall we will all be getting the multi variant Booster which protects against all known covid variant Alpha, Beta, Delta and Omicron... should be here in later October.
There are the facts so please no counter discussion.
Thanks
