India's Vaccine Program Is Slow- And That Doesn't Factor In Booster Shots

Global research has established that protection by vaccines doesn't last long - nowherenear a full year, as previously hoped. It is now clear that the efficacy of all vaccines drops sharply every month after a person is fully-vaccinated.

The world is facing an uphill struggle against Covid - and in India there is a fear that a 3rd wave could hit us soon. Now, new global research overturns some earlier beliefs about Covid and vaccinations. These findings suggest that our fight against Covid is going to be even tougher than it already is. Global research has established that protection by vaccines doesn't last long - nowhere near a full year, as previously hoped. It is now clear that the efficacy of all vaccines drops sharply every month after a person is fully-vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine starts with a 95% level of protection, but in just 4 months, it drops to a disappointing 48%. The Astra-Zeneca vaccine, known in India as Covishield, starts with a 75% level of protection - and drops over four months to a poor 54% efficacy.
