Observational serological model in Malawi shows rapid SARS-CoV-2 antibody waning and urban-rural differences
Malawi Study Rewrites Rules of COVID Immunity
This observational study used serological modelling to reconstruct SARS-CoV-2 infection histories in unvaccinated Malawian adults.
In Malawi, natural immunity fades fast, with antibodies dropping to 5% after one year, so vaccines remain essential for lasting protection.
