This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Little is known about the longevity of antibodies after a third dose of BNT162b2 (BioNTech/Pfizer). Therefore, the serum antibody levels were evaluated after the third dose of BNT162b2 which dropped significantly within 11 weeks from 4155.59 {+/-} 2373.65 BAU/ml to 2389.10 {+/-} 1433.90 BAU/ml, p-value <0.001 but remained higher than after the second dose. These data underline the positive effect of third dose of BNT162b2 but shows a rapid and significant drop of antibodies within a short span of time.
