In first, Israeli study indicates post-COVID immunity stays when antibodies fade
(Worthy News) – An Israeli study that found a robust immune response from recovered COVID-19 patients who were vaccinated provides “some of the first real-life evidence” that immunity lasts even if antibody levels appear to drop, a leading researcher said Thursday.
People who have already been infected have these virus-fighting antibodies once they recover, but testing has shown that the antibodies eventually fade, leading to fears of re-infection.

Reinfection, while receiving much media attention, is a rare phenomenon, he added. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
