SPEAKER:
Hi, everyone. I'm Dr. John Whyte, Chief Medical Officer at
WebMD. Just how long are you protected from COVID after
vaccination? Here's what you need to know in 60 seconds.
Both Pfizer and Moderna studied the immune function of people that
were vaccinated six months ago. And what they determined was
that they still had strong immune function. The vaccine
was effective at over 90%.
Now they only studied 6 months because that's what's required by the
FDA for full approval, but they're going to continue to study for
many months, and even years. And the point of this is, there's
protection for at least six months, not only six months. And
that's been misreported by some news media.
So what do you do? Well, don't get frustrated. Thinking that this is
never going to end, or we're going to need boosters every
six months or every year. We don't know that, it depends what
happens with the variant. But what we can do is get vaccinated,
protect ourselves, protect our family, and protect our community.
