A recent report by Davis et al. shows that following vaccination, B‐cell activation results in the emergence of a population of antibody‐secreting cells (plasmablasts – PBs) in blood and a population of plasma cells (PCs) in the bone marrow, which likely originate from the day 7 PBs. However, these newly arrived PCs do not become long‐lived and their abundance decreases by 1 year post‐vaccination.
