A new study found that coronavirus immunity for those who were previously infected is still strong 8 months later.
Understanding how the immune system remembers the coronavirus is essential for “improving the diagnosis and vaccines and for assessing the future evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic “, the study say.
Blood samples from nearly 200 patients in the study published in the journal Science showed that not only antibodies remembered the virus. Several parts of the immune system are remembered and this memory helps the patient to fight the virus quickly if he contracts COVID-19 again.
Coronavirus vaccines reach millions of people in the United States, but the number of cases remains high in some parts of the country.
90 percent of the patients in the study showed that their immunity to the virus was long-lasting and strong. There are concerns about how this would apply to the new coronavirus thread that started in the United Kingdom and has made its way to several states.
The authors of the study believe that this new thread will not go against the natural immunity you get after you have contracted the virus, because the new thread has not moved enough to where the human body could not recognize it.
The immune system attacks different parts of the virus when it enters the human body and most of these parts have not been affected by the new mutation we see coming out of the UK.
Despite most appearing to have immunity that could last up to 8 months after contracting the virus, there are “different patterns of immune memory in different individuals,” according to the study.
