Three vaccines against the Chinese Communist virus are currently approved for use in the United States, several others are in development, and according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 35 million Americans (13.5% of the U.S. adult population) have been fully vaccinated. There is no doubt that vaccines will play an important role in the resumption of social life, the reopening of travel, and normal movement between countries. However, one question is constantly on the table: How long will the immune protection provided by the CCP virus vaccine last? In fact, there is still much that scientists do not know about the CCP vaccine, including how long it provides immune protection.
Dr. Jenny Yu, senior medical manager at Healthline, a consumer health care content provider, was quoted in a report on thepointsguy.com about how long immune protection from the CCP virus vaccine lasts. She said, “We don’t know exactly how long the protection from the CCP virus vaccine lasts at this point because it’s still in trials, and I’m afraid only time will answer that question.”
Jenny Yu said the question is part of a clinical trial, and the first people to receive the vaccine, their antibody levels will tell us how long the immunity provided by the vaccine, ultimately, lasts. Only after the results of the clinical trial are known will we know whether people will need to get a supplemental vaccination, or if it will be given once a year, like the flu vaccine.
The report notes that because of the growing popularity of the CCP virus vaccination, travel restrictions are being relaxed in various states, but all have time limits on the vaccination. New York State, for example, has announced that it will relax entry and quarantine requirements for people who have been fully vaccinated against the CCP virus, but only if the traveler is vaccinated within 90 days, then quarantine is no longer required. If the vaccination has been administered for more than three months, testing and quarantine will still be required.
Some European countries, such as Estonia, allow travelers who have been vaccinated against the CCP virus to enter the country, provided that the vaccination has not been administered for more than six months.
Judging from these travel restrictions, the perception of the protection period of the CCP virus vaccine varies from place to place, but there is a basic consensus that three months ensures effectiveness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced that people who have been vaccinated against the CCP virus are free to travel within the United States without quarantine or testing for the virus, but must still wear a mask when traveling on mass transit systems such as airplanes, trains and buses. However, the CDC still does not recommend that people travel at this time, as cases of infection continue to rise.
“The Washington Post reported on March 30 that the efficacy of the CCP vaccine is still unclear, because although humans have been battling the vaccine for more than a year, the vaccine was only recently approved for emergency use, and scientists are unable to observe the long-term effectiveness of the vaccine.
But according to clinical experiments, experts now know for sure that the immunity promoted by the vaccine can last at least 90 days, and this finding does not mean that the immunity will be invalidated by the end of the period, because the people who are currently vaccinated and participating in the experiments are under observation for that long.
Experts say that the laboratory results are so, but in the real world, the vaccine protection should be longer, but the effectiveness of how long, further experiments are needed to determine.
According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in clinical trials, the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine was about 95 percent, the Modena vaccine was 94.1 percent and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was 66.3 percent. fully protected).
In conclusion, there is still too much unknown about the CCP virus and the CCP vaccine, and it will take time to fully understand it, but even if people have been fully vaccinated against the CCP virus, adhering to good personal protection will always be a proven method.
