Who knows, as I understand it they dont know how long immunity lasts , could be a jab every 6 monthsOr once in your lifetime?
Hopefully we get to a stage where they can just put a permanent one in which will lower the cost of the chips long termProbably annually as the processing power of microchips improves
I’m not sure that answer is fully known yet.
Hopefully not, however we may get to a point that the virus is no longer endemic.
Flu vaccines are yearly because flu is always changing, rather than because we lose immunity.
In a beautiful house with a beautiful wife......Or once in your lifetime?
tidied for ian brown there mateI reckon one every few years until you get to flu vaccine age. And by then it’ll be mixed with microchips and 5g anyway!
There is evidence of T-cell memory kicking in so the presence of antibodies (or lack of them) isnt crucial if they can be re-activated. However given this is less than 12 months there is no long term data available. The obvious thing would be to integrate COVID and seasonal flu vaccination to enable better use of resourcesAnnually I’d imagine given that the immune response from those who’ve had it seems to wane after 6 months. Suspect they’ll be given at the same time as flu jabs.
Covid isn't going anywhere. It'll probably just settle down into a seasonal thing like the flu.Wouldn’t we only need the vaccine for a short period of time (in relative terms), as it will die off once we reach herd immunity levels?
Ideally yes, but it's unlikely given the variation in symptomatology and ease of spread.Wouldn’t we only need the vaccine for a short period of time (in relative terms), as it will die off once we reach herd immunity levels?
To be honest you can call it anything and people will still be making assumptions without the first idea of the subject they are chatting about....Ideally yes, but it's unlikely given the variation in symptomatology and ease of spread.
I think it'll be endemic within the population, with possible small scale outbreaks.
There's a bit of a misconception from some about what herd immunity is. Herd immunity doesn't mean that the virus is gone, it means we're at a level of immunity where any outbreaks are short lived because a significant amount of people are immune to it and the damage is much reduced.
Herd protection, rather then immunity, would be a much better phrase to use in the general public imo as it seems certain sections are jumping on the word immune and making assumptions.
