Just a snippet:
But data from similar coronaviruses may provide some insight, according to the nation's leading immunologist. In the 2002 SARS outbreak, for example, those who came down with the virus were naturally immune for over a year, though their immunity eventually waned. "So the bottom line is we don't know right now how long it lasts," Fauci said of immunity from the COVID-19 vaccine. "But it likely would last for a full year's cycle."


A full year is better than nothing and certainly better than 90 days, but I don't read anything that even hints at more than a year.
MY CONCERN is that, while it is 'free' now, it won't be free every year. Given that it will take an unknown amount of years for it to mutate to the point of no real threat, I suspect we will be budgeting for this expense in future years.
Buy shares in Big Pharma, they will be making billions when you have to pay for a shot every year or so.
In most western countries the government will buy it and distribute it for free, paid for in taxes. Heaven help those in countries without government medical aid.
Having a natural immunity you will be worry free though. Get the shot when you can Mark.
