JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – A study by Texas researchers may offer one more reason for older Americans to continue getting COVID-19 protection.In studying a pandemic already well-known for disproportionately affecting people 65 and older, researchers at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas found that protection from two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine decreases with age, meaning that older people are more susceptible than their younger peers to developing complications as time passes without additional protection.
