The immune systems of more than 95% of people who recovered from COVID-19 had durable memories of the virus up to eight months after infection.

FDA issued an EUA for the T-Detect COVID Test developed by Adaptive Biotechnologies to aid in identifying individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. Not currently available outside of the U.S., but the site states that information for non-U.S. citizens is coming soon.

Coronavirus-specific T cells and B cells last longer than antibodies, and analyses of them suggest immunity to the virus could last years.

Now that we are entering the last transition phase of COVID-19 in the United States where we are moving from an epidemic to endemic for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, we need to focus on how safest to get there. Clearly, the introduction of a highly effective vaccine is abbreviating the time it would normally take to get our population immunity to this novel virus. What would have taken 2-5 years with multiple outbreaks throughout the country will now be less than 18 months before we get to a point where we no longer have massive spikes of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID-19.

"Full Measure" host Sharyl Attkisson speaks with Rep. Thomas Massie, a scientist, who says the CDC is either lying or very mistaken about the COVID-19 vaccine. Massie calls it misinformation. CDC chalks it up to an "honest mistake." Whatever it is, it resulted in vaccines going to some who are said to need it the least depriving others who are said to need it the most.
