Antibody levels generated by two doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca or Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine may start to fall six weeks after the second jab, and for some could drop by up to 50 percent in less than three months, research suggests.

University College London’s (UCL) Virus Watch study analysed blood from 552 vaccinated people mostly in their 50s and 60s.
