Immunity wanes after 3-4 months. It's not long lasting.
That's for the maximum amount of protection, but it continues to protect afterwards. It's not a cliff edge.
Because I read medical journals like this and I feel the most protection is the best way to go about life.

You are right, but why rely on a single method of protection? Vaccinations are good, but not perfect.
Think of it as using a condom despite being on birth control pills: you are not just unlikely, but really really unlikely to get pregnant and it also protects from stds.
I also work with patients who have to get vaccines you've never heard of just to stay alive. Immunocompromise is pretty serious, I could not feel right if I infected them by being careless.
