Vaccine-induced antibodies from the ancestral vaccine against Omicron drop to effectively nil about 6-8 months after your 3rd shot (first booster). I got infected, probably in the SFO Centurion lounge, when I took off my N95 mask for all of 7-9 minutes to eat dinner, back at the end of June/beginning of July (last booster at that time was November 2021).
