As the global fight against coronavirus continues, the question of immunity has gained urgency. Dr. Sarah Fortune, chair of the immunology and infectious disease department at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, joined Jim Braude to talk about it.
“I think that there is lots of evidence that antibodies are going to provide measures of protection,” she said. “Whether that’s perfect, and whether that’s true with everybody, it’s not clear, but certainly, for most, coronaviruses antibodies are protective, and I think we should expect that there will be a measure of protection of COVID as well.”
