RE: Vaccines unlikely to protect in future22 May 2021 00:35
The language used below by sage is so suggestive of whats coming next. And unfortunately it's sounding like the immunosupressed, I.e the elderly, asthmatics, diabetics, the ones who need it most may not be protected this winter. This is just my take and ofc may not be 100% correct.
Further doses of those vaccines "MIGHT" maintain protection into the winter of 2021/22 "but potentially less so for individuals with a less robust immune response", it states.
The scientists say "worryingly" there is increasing evidence that COVID vaccines are less effective at protecting against infections and mild disease caused by the South African variant of the virus, compared to the Kent variant
