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.

I have had both of the Moderna. First. vac sore arm for a couple of days. Second vac, sore arm again with mild fatigue and sore muscles. I'm 77 years old and any side effects are well work it for the immunity I now have.

Had my second shot yesterday at 1:00pm. Same as the first I thought but around 3 in the morning I woke up with 103 F fever, shivering and a terrible back ache. This all lasted for about 3 hours, now today all I have is a tender arm.
Re: Covid-19 vaccine, what to get and what happened?
There is talk of a passport that indicates if or when you had the vaccination. With no proof of a vaccination you may not get into some countries. This may also apply for other things such as jobs, social events etc.
I do not want to be next to an anti-vaccer anywhere even if I have an up to date vaccination. It may boil down to us and them, they will scream their rights are being ignored but they will be a threat to all of us. They should be charged with causing grievous bodily harm if they cause someone to catch the virus.
