https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/10/20/two-studies-show-covid-19-antibodies-persist-for-months/ The new findings show that people who survive a COVID-19 infection continue to produce protective antibodies against key parts of the virus for at least three to four months after developing their first symptoms. In contrast, some other antibody types decline more quickly. The findings offer hope that people infected with the virus will have some lasting antibody protection against re-infection, though for how long still remains to be determined. |

Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Studies Showing Waning Coronavirus AntibodiesExperts say it’s normal for levels of antibodies to drop after clearing an infection, and that they represent just one arm of the immune response against a virus. The portion of people in Britain with detectable antibodies to the coronavirus fell by roughly 27 percent over a period of three months this summer, researchers reported Monday, prompting fears that immunity to the virus is short-lived. But several experts said these worries were overblown. It is normal for levels of antibodies to drop after the body clears an infection, but immune cells carry a memory of the virus and can churn out fresh antibodies when needed. “Some of these headlines are silly,” said Scott Hensley, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania. Declining antibody levels after the acute infection has resolved “is the sign of a normal healthy immune response,” Dr. Hensley said. “It doesn’t mean that those people no longer have antibodies. It doesn’t mean that they don’t have protection.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/health/coronavirus-antibodies-studies.html?auth=login-google |

I don't even care if it works out as once every 3 months; I just want it to work and be proven safe. |
