Immune protection from COVID-19 infection either through natural infection or vaccination wanes with time as neutralisation levels decline, a new study has revealed.

The study entitled: “Neutralising antibody levels are highly predictive of immune protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection”, published 17 May, 2021 by Nature Medicine, revealed that immunity to SARS-CoV-2 induced either through natural infection or vaccination has been shown to afford a degree of protection against reinfection and/or reduce the risk of clinically significant outcomes.

The study provides an evidence-based model of SARS-CoV-2 immune protection that will assist in developing vaccine strategies to control the future trajectory of the pandemic. A research scientist with the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development , Abuja, Nigeria, Prof. Martins Emeje said the only way out of the pandemic is through indigenous research and development.
