For your reference, Tetanus and diphtheria vaccines take “over 40 years for protective immunity to be lost,” while immunity to measles and rubella has a decay rate of “only 1% to 2% of the population losing protective immunity per decade.” “For vaccinia, just over 60% of the population have protective levels of antibodies at the outset (year 0), and this has dropped to 40% after 100 years—which corresponds to about 3% of the population losing protective immunity per decade.”

The period of protection conferred by the COVID vaccine is of a hugely shorter duration than other vaccines.

OTHER VACCINES?

Hepatitis A – “The vaccine to prevent it is about 95% effective in healthy adults and can work for more than 20 years. In children, it’s about 85% effective and can last 15 to 20 years.”

Hepatitis B – “Studies indicate that immunologic memory remains intact for at least 30 years among healthy people who initiated hepatitis B vaccination at >6 months of age (16). The vaccine confers long-term protection against clinical illness and chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Cellular immunity appears to persist even though antibody levels might become low or decline below detectable levels.”

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) – “People who receive MMR vaccination according to the U.S. vaccination schedule are usually considered protected for life against measles and rubella. While MMR provides effective protection against mumps for most people, immunity against mumps may decrease over time and some people may no longer be protected against mumps later in life. An additional dose may be needed if you are at risk because of a mumps outbreak.”

Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) – “[A]dults should receive a booster dose of either Tdap or Td (a different vaccine that protects against tetanus and diphtheria but not pertussis) every 10 years, or after 5 years in the case of a severe or dirty wound or burn. “ (emphasis in the original)

As can be seen, the COVID vaccine protection is toward, if not at, the low end of the vaccine protection spectrum.

Talk now is of a future filled with COVID vaccinations:

The CEO of pharmaceutical giant Moderna says that even younger people will have to get vaccine booster shots at least once every three years…
The CEO said older and vulnerable people would “undoubtedly” need refresher shots at least once a year, while even younger people who face an infinitesimal chance of dying from the virus will need booster shots every three years.

This is gene therapy, not a vaccine.

Outstanding information!

...need refresher shots at least once a year...

I believe it was over in Israel or the UK they are already talking about a 2nd booster, and a 6 month cycle of boosters. Gosh I wish I had invested in pharma companies in 2019... :-/
