Unfortunately, we don't yet know how long the protection will last. From the paper's Discussion section (top of page 10):
"Overall, these data raise the possibility that the fourth dose does not boost immunity but simply restores it to peak levels. It is yet to be observed whether the waning of this fourth dose will be at a similar rate as that observed after the third dose and whether it will differ between the two mRNA vaccine groups."
