I'd previously read the innate immune system boost from the TB vaccine, and the polio vaccine, lasted a lifetime. People with the TB vaccine have lower health ailments across the board, and it's been borne out by multiple unrelated studies, according to a series of articles published in the Times in the spring of 2020. Their definition of innate immunity wasn't quite the way the article is describing it either they called the lifelong health benefits of the TB and Polio vaccines as innate immunity. They also said we didn't really know why it helps we only have a vague idea.
