with phizers announcement of it only lasting 6 months, do you think the majority of ppl will continue to get vaccinated from here on out or will it become like the flu vaccine where its mainly certain ppl who continue to re-vaccinate.... (elderly, compromised immune system, etc....) ppl have a short attention span. will it become forgotten as the summer draws near and everything gets back to normal.
That is not what Pfizer said. They said they now KNOW it lasts at least 6 months. Since it's so new, they are waiting to see how much longer it goes at full strength. I read the article this morning and as in any new vaccine, it will take time to see how long it will last. They continue to monitor it.

The ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial of Pfizer/BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine confirms its protection lasts at least six months after the second dose, the companies said Thursday. The trial continues and protection is expected to last longer than six months.

My former boss told a similar story about getting shots before going to SEA back in the late 60s. A bunch of aircrew were lined up assembly line style getting inoculations when one of them asked the med tech what they were getting. The answer was, "I just give'em, don't know what's in'em.
Geez....I never gave anything without verifying three times what it was and if the dose was correct!
