How Long Does Protection From First Covid Vaccine Last. Although it takes a second dose to reach full protection for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines data suggests that a significant immune response occurs about two weeks after the first dose. The ongoing study which has yet to be peer-reviewed shows that the PfizerBioNTech vaccine was overall 91 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 infection over the course of six months. As more studies are being done well learn more about how effective these vaccines are after each of the doses. US preparing for 1-year COVID-19 booster shots.
While the current COVID-19 vaccines will likely last for at least about a year they probably will not offer lifelong protection as with measles shots said Dr Kathleen Neuzil a vaccine expert at the University of Maryland. Protection lasted for at least 6 weeks including against the Alpha variant first identified in the UK. 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. So the first dose of a COVID vaccine. If you are fully vaccinated you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic. Immunity starts to develop about 14 days after the first shot at which point the vaccine is about 51 effective.
Therefore scientists said that after four to five months the vaccines offer similar defence against Delta infection.
