The study found that receiving a booster shot once or twice a year significantly reduces the probability of COVID-19 infection. Despite hopes that the initial COVID-19 vaccination series would be effective at preventing long term infection, short-term studies involving SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies have indicated that antibody protection against infection\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa2118691\u0022\u003Ewanes significantly post-vaccination\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;and even\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa2119451\u0022\u003Epost-booster\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;Researchers involved in the study include \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/qbios.gatech.edu\/user\/228\u0022\u003EHayley Hassler\u003C\/a\u003E, a Ph.D. student in\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/qbios.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EInterdisciplinary Graduate Program in Quantitative Biosciences (QBioS) \u003C\/a\u003Eat Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"34434","created_gmt":"2023-01-23 17:00:00","changed_gmt":"2023-01-23 17:00:00","author":"Renay San Miguel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/yaledailynews.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/20\/yale-study-finds-significant-protection-in-annual-covid-19-booster\/","dateline":{"date":"2023-01-20T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2023-01-20T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1278","name":"College of Sciences"},{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[{"id":"146","name":"Life Sciences and Biology"}],"keywords":[{"id":"4896","name":"College of Sciences"},{"id":"175571","name":"Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Quantitative Biosciences"},{"id":"191955","name":"Hayley Hassler"},{"id":"186639","name":"Covid-19 vaccines"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
