How long until covid booster shots lose their strength?

It varies. But the general opinion is they are good for at least 6 months.

At present it looks like boosters are required every 6 to 8 months but at present we have research showing that a second booster is advisable in the over 65s and over 55if immunocompromised. Good Luck
