Question 1

covid-19 antibodies develop in body after covid-19 infection and also after taking covid-19 vaccine. which one of these two antibodies last longer in the body?

Accepted Answer

: The antibodies to wild covid-19 will differ from those to the vaccines. We only have data from the wild covid for a little more than a year &amp; much less for the vaccines which have been around a shorter time. The data we have so far suggest the wild covid can trigger antibodies lasting 9-10 months or more. Reports on vaccine triggered antibodies are not widely circulated.

Question 2

how long does immunity last with the moderna vaccine for a healthy person? i've read both 6 and 8 months? which is is? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: There are individual variations in immune response and a booster dose at 6-8 months after the second dose is prudent. The difference between 6 and 8 months for the booster is not clinically meaningful.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

my dog bit me by accident. she had vaccine 3 months ago. i completed series of antirabies last year. should i worry? should i get a shot again? help

Accepted Answer

Dog bite: If your go has had all of her rabies vaccination and you had rabies vaccinations then there is very little worry about rabies. Of course, any bite can become infected so wash it with soap and water and monitor for signs of infection such as redness, pus, or increased pain or warmth.

Question 4

i had hep vaccines as a child, i'm 28 and want to travel more, will i need new shots? will it last another 20 yrs? should i get a + b, anything else?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis vax: Hepatitis a vaccine protection is thought to last up to 10 years before a booster series is given. Hepatitis b vaccine is thought to confer protection up to 25 years, but possibly lifelong. If you don't wish to undergo another series of vaccinations, you can ask your primary care provider to ask for antibody titers in blood; this way, you'll know if you have immunity at present; safe travels!

Question 5

my whole family recently had covid. i have had symptoms for about 10 days, was feeling better now worse again. everyone else is better. i am the only one who has 3 vaccines. why am i still sick? is it normal to last so long?

Accepted Answer

: Whenever there is a reversal of the recovery process, a suprainfection and/or complication of the original infection have to be ruled out and seeking medical attention is highly recommended.

Question 9

what happens if one does not take the last dose of hepatitis vaccine?

Accepted Answer

Loss of protection: You can always just do it and not lose anything.However, if you fail to complete the series, it is possible that you will not gain long term protection from the disease. If you don't care, the responsibility for whatever happens is yours.

Question 10

does the covid-19 vaccines last past 6 months? is a booster needed after 6 months?

Accepted Answer

: Food and Drug Administration has not issued an opinion about the need for a third/booster dose. International data suggests that it would be useful to administer a third dose  6-8 months following second dose.
People with immune suppression or immune deficiency should take the third dose at 6 or so months after the second dose.
