Yeah, I didn’t know that. I’m glad I’m protected for longer. Thanks modern medicine!

Years after? That would be great news.
I thought the protection period was way shorter, on the order of one year?

One year is more like the protection is so good that you probably won’t even get sick.
I think it also depends a lot on the vaccine though. Something like meningitis or the MMR seem to be much much longer lasting, when you’ve had your shots you don’t need them again.

Right, yes. Sorry, I was implicitly assuming this was about Covid Vaccines again, which seem to be the focus of “Vaccine Skeptics”

I think it depends on what you’re trying to prevent. Flu vaccines have to adapt to rapidly evolving new strains every year, but you would still be immune to the specific strain in the vaccine for a long period.

Yea starts waning after a year but there is a phenomenon called back boost is that if you get reinfected a year later with another variant, this still boosts antibodies to the variant of infection. I suspect she might not have conditioned to select individuals with no recent infections. I hope she is not in some serious capacity for making healthcare decisions.
