That is not correct. They are finding that the antibody levels are not dropping off fast. The people in Phase 1 (nearly a year ago), still have 90% of their Antibodies. That seems like 5 years before a booster might be needed.

I expect a yearly booster will be needed to go after the mutant strains. Moderna is already working on a booster to cover the SA and European strains.
