"... a recent study of veterans’ records has provided new insight into just how much this protection diminishes. Published Thursday in the journal Science, the study collected data of 780,225 veterans from the Veterans Health Administration between Feb. 1 and Oct. 1.
500,000 of them had been inoculated while just shy of 300,000 had not.
Researchers found each of the vaccines initially offered high levels of protection against infection. In March, Moderna’s protection measured at 89%, Pfizers registered at 87% and J&J came in at 86%.
But six months later, Moderna’s jab had dropped to just 58% effective, Pfizer was 45% and J&J fell to a mere 13%.
