Nah not after a year/18 months... 3+ years until you'd start seeing a noticeable difference in "general immunity levels".

Infants are another matter though so I do think people should be careful there - early mixing and passing bugs around is an important part of "kick starting" immunity and babies who were 1 or under at the start of lockdown 1, or born during the pandemic, may be getting a lot less mixing than "normal".

Probably not a huge deal but might mean more childhood sniffles.
