A COVID-19 booster shot may provide protection for years, studies find

The Week

According to the New York Times, a range of new studies suggest that a COVID-19 booster shot may provide protection against future variant for many months, even years. A recent study posted on bioRxiv suggests that a third Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna shot can help to produce antibodies that could be effective against yet-unseen mutations, even though the vaccines were not specifically designed to protect against variants.

The new findings are similar to the ones that were found in the wake of the SARS epidemic that swept across Asia in 2003; one study found that people exposed to the disease were still producing T cells 17 years later.
