Since RNA and DNA vaccines are used now is this a matter of coming up with a close enough version of the virus to stimulate the immune response?


Its based on the genetic code of the virus. So they analyze the cells of the actual virus and figure out the genetic code and then create a vaccine using that code. The code enters the cells of your body and your cells create an immune response. There is no actual virus in the vaccine. Here is a good article LINK

Excellent article! I used to read Scientific American on a regular basis. I usually skipped over articles in the life science domain though.

I think it's more likely the antibody test was wrong.

Twitter Thread

Twitter thread on topic with articles. Vaccines can and do last longer than actually getting it for other viruses. Also, just because you don’t have antibodies any longer doesn’t mean your body doesn’t remember.

Good info in twitter thread linked.

Do vaccinations last longer than someone’s natural developed antibodies from contracting disease?


In some cases, yes, actually.
