How long are children protected with vaccine?

Anyone know? Does it fade for them? Especially after having just the one. I can't seem to find any information about longevity of immunity for the children 12-15 who have had it.
Just curious.

@herecomesthsun - there is at least one study looking at different dosing regimes for teenagers - dd1 was invited to take part. I think the 3 arms were - one standard dose; two standard doses or one standard followed by one half. We considered it but we were put off by the possibility of her not being considered fully vaccinated for travel purposes if she was in the half dose group, and the study centre being an hour away and needing to rush there in peak traffic after school for the blood tests.

I have natural immunity so won't have the vacinne until/if that wanes. I've been having tests each 6 months for antibodies. I don't want to pump myself full of mercury unless there is no alternative. What's the point when the vacinne is probably out of date (new variants) and doesn't seem to work- or last. We were told it would protect against catching the virus - now that's changed to you won't be hospitalized. At work I'm the only one in my office to have not tested positive within the last 3/4 months. Maybe the government's billions would be better spent trying to improve public health.

Maybe your posts would be more credible if you hadn't been a loud and proud anti-vaxxer on MN for the last year? HTH.

You're not even able to spell 'vaccine' so I'm not too concerned considering your advice re: vaccines. PS. There is no mercury any vaccines. You are likely thinking of thimerosal - a mercury-based preservative that used to be present in some vaccines but was removed some years ago. (The amount was so tiny anyway the body removed it easily.) Facebook warriors might convince you otherwise.
