Dr Miriam Stoppard reports on a new study that suggests people who've had the coronavirus could gain lifetime protection via the Pfizer and Moderna vaccinesHey, how good is this news? The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines could provide lifelong ­protection against Covid-19 for people who have already been ­infected with the virus, like me. They say Covid survivors’ immune cells recognise the infection, which can still be found in bone marrow eight months later. Immunologist Dr Ali Ellebedy, whose team led the study, couldn’t say if someone who received the mRNA jabs and hadn’t previously been infected was protected the same way. But given the UK’s vaccine supply position, it’s unlikely the schedule will change at the moment.
