Large study shows COVID-19 antibodies last 4 months, bolstering vaccine hopes

Coronavirus antibodies could last for at least four months and fade more slowly than previously reported, according to a new study.

The findings come from a large-scale survey published Tuesday involving more than 30,500 people in Iceland. Billed as the most comprehensive look at the body’s response to the virus, scientists believe it gives hope to achieve immunity through a vaccine.
