Covid-19 is a very new viral disease and scientists are still working out precisely how the body fends off the virusThere maybe some reasons to think that immunity could last for several months. The AstraZeneca Covid vaccine gives powerful protection that may last a lifetime a study found Credit. It is not yet known how long the protection of the COVID-19 vaccine will last. Clinical trials are currently happening to find out if we will need booster doses on an annual or longer basis.
You will need 2 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. But why does it take time for these responses to develop. The results follow other smaller studies that indicate a level of immunity following a natural infection for at least 6 months. Clinical trials are ongoing to find this out. After having both doses most people will have immunity. And well probably have to vaccinate against variants that emerge as we do for flu.
Pfizer has acknowledged that the efficacy of its mRNA jabs shows a decline in levels of protection after six months which is why the company is recommending a booster.

In April a report in The New England Journal of Medicine NEJM said that in all 33 participants who had received the Moderna vaccine during the Phase I trial protection remained high for six months after the second shot. In December Moderna published a study that showed their COVID-19 vaccine still showed good immune responses four months after the date of vaccination results which Professor Triccas said were encouraging.
