“How long will it take to reach full COVID-19 protection?”

Brittany Kmush, assistant professor of public health in Falk College, was interviewed for the CNY Central story “How long will it take to reach full COVID-19 protection?” In the story, Kmush, an expert on infectious disease epidemiology and vaccines, comments on when people who have received the vaccine will truly get immunity. “Immunity probably starts building up about a week or two after, but it would be about 28 days till you receive the full protection,” Kmush says.
