National Institutes of Health recently published information about "Why protective antibodies fade after COVID-19 vaccines"

At a Glance

- Researchers found that current COVID-19 vaccines fail to generate mature and durable antibody-producing cells in the bone marrow.

- The findings could help explain why protection tends to decline over time.

- Better understanding of long-term immune responses could lead to improved vaccines that provide enduring protection.

To gain insight into why immunity against SARS-CoV-2 decreases months after vaccination, a research team led by Dr. F. Eun-Hyung Lee at Emory University conducted an in-depth study of immune cells in the bone marrow of 19 healthy adults.

“The holy grail of vaccine researchers is the generation of long-lived plasma cells,” Lee says. “Our findings demonstrate that current SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines do not provide such long-lasting protection within bone marrow. Further research is needed to determine if updated vaccines, new delivery schedules, or other factors might provide such protection.”
