I know the government Keeps Going on about this Vaccine
What I’d like to know is Everyone got Vaccinated would that be the End of Covid and seeing it’s a Virus Not an Infection
Would we need a Booster jab every Year |

I think thats the case. An annual booster like the flu jab.
A vaccine does not stop you catching the virus, just largely negates the symptoms. |

Only time will tell. Some vaccines do give long term protection others need regular boosters. Vaccines along will not end Cov but they will limit the pressure on the NHS and allow us to go about our lives again.

If it's an annual booster then that's massive pressure on the NHS. The whole population requiring an annual jab ? |

I don't think they know how long the vaccine lasts, do they ? I don't think it's a year |

Depends how it’s organised.
One jab per person per year (probably worst case) should really NOT be a “massive” pressure.
.Back of envelope ten minutes procedure and admin at £20 per hour * 55 million equals £170 million plus £3 per jab total £300 million.
Total NHS budget 2020 £130 billion. So 0.25% on the cost side hopefully with a concomitant reduction in treatment of COVID patients. |

"Anything extra is a pressure. GP surgeries are small businesses, they only employ the bear minimum of staff. Doing flu jabs yearly relies on staff overtime and, goodwill."
As I say, depends how it’s organised, eg contracts for private pharmacies, school nurses, retired medics etc. |

The testing, which is still underway, did not initially determine the duration of immunity from the vaccines. We therefore don't know what repeat boosters may be needed including frequency. As with the flu jab, the boosters could be delivered by pharmacies etc as well as at GP venues.
The current vaccines appeal to suppress the levels of illness that individuals get, which - may - limit the viral load they shed. Future vaccines may prevent any infection. The virus will continue to exist whilst there are people that it can infect. It may mutate in a way that makes it easier for itself to bypass vaccine derived immunity. Once it does not find a host to infect, it will die out. |

Moderna CEO says COVID-19 vaccine protection may last years
By Caitlin O'Kane
January 7, 2021 / 12:36 PM / CBS News
Moderna's CEO said the company's new COVID-19 vaccine may prevent infection for years.
While speaking at a virtual event by Oddo BHF, a financial service group, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said the once-believed "nightmare scenario" that the vaccine won't work is now out the window. "We believe there will be protection potentially for a couple of years," Bancel said.
He explained that the "antibody decay generated by the vaccine in humans goes down very slowly," Reuters reports. |
