With what we know about the effect of the vaccines, it is also our assessment that the vaccines will provide at least as long-lasting immunity\u201d, Helene Bilsted Probst said.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 is a relatively new disease and details about how long the vaccine will be effective for, along with how it affects the immune system, remain unknown. Vaccines have only been around since the end of 2020, which means the period of assessment is still limited. The knowledge that arises comes with some delay after the follow-up of people who have been ill and with the rollout of the vaccines worldwide, the Danish Health Authority said, emphasizing an ongoing need to adjust the assessment of how long immunity can be expected for, both after recovering from COVID-19 infection and after vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is still too early to say anything about the need for re-vaccination, but it is of course an area that we will follow closely\u201d, added Probst.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called COVID-19 \u201cpart of the new reality\u201d, suggested that vaccinations will be needed \u201cover and over again\u201d, and urged to prepare accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>After recovery from a virus infection, the immune system retains a memory of it. Immune cells and proteins that circulate in the body can recognize and kill the pathogen if it is encountered again, protecting against the disease and reducing the severity of the illness.<\/p>\n<p>For COVID-19, the exact length of natural immunity remains unknown, with researchers usually suggesting periods of several months. It has also been noted that between 20-30 percent of those infected with the virus shed this immunity after a six-month period.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"postmeta\">\n<div
