You should at least reference the originator in your writing after copying his/her idea. Or, add the source that confirms 对性 was a typo of 针对性, or state that the latter is mainly a "best guess" (which is not a bad guess though).

@r13 It's impossible to confirm that this is indeed a typo. But anyone done the same Google search will probably draw the same conclusion that this is the most viable interpretation.

对性疫苗 could be typo of 針對性疫苗 ( targeted vaccines)

Bad sentence. Should be modified to "因为(对**抗**性)疫苗的保护**期**会随着时间(的推移)而降低".

@r13 The second suggestion is wrong. “…保护期…随着时间…降低” translates to "the duration (of protection) decreases by time", and makes much less sense than "the protection (itself) decreases by time".

Yes. If 期 changes to 效力 or 功效 will be better, as the effectiveness of most of the vaccines will decrease with the lapse of time. The sentence has room for modification.
