Can I kindly ask that you delete your post. Sadly people read what you wrote and don't read the reply or believe the worst rather than the truth. For the record, again, the reporting you misunderstood was that there is now six months of data on the vaccine and it is still working great. Six months ago was the beginning of October 2020, before any vaccine was available to the public and it was only being given in controlled studies. Data now available on those study volunteers shows that at six months there is no loss of benefit. No one knows about nine months or 12 months as there was nobody who got it that long ago. But there is no reason to believe there will be a problem.

What you read or heard was that the vaccine is good for six months, not that it was only good for six months, BIG difference.
