Immunological memory is a mechanism to protect us against reinfection. Antibodies
produced by B cells are integral to this defense strategy and underlie virtually all vaccine
success. Here, we explain how B cell memory is generated by infection and vaccination,
what influences its efficacy and its persistence, and how characterizing these parameters in
the immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
will help achieve protective immunity through vaccination.
