Summary

This study involved over 2,500 people of all ages to find out which immune responses best predict protection against COVID-19 after vaccination. Researchers also tested whether local pharmacies could collect blood and nasal samples effectively. The goal is to improve future vaccine monitoring and public health strategies.

Who is studied

Prior to enrollment in this study, participants will receive a federally licensed and authorized vaccine, manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna, for the prevention of COVID-19. Each participant will complete a pre-screener questionnaire which will collect information to confirm the participant's eligibility. Upon passing the pre-screener, the participant will complete their electronic consent form and will be enrolled in the study within 72 hours of their vaccination with blood collected to establish baseline for humoral immune marker. A subset of total enrollment, a cohort of 80 participants, will also enroll in the PBMC cohort; participants in the PBMC cohort will enroll in the study within 24 hours of their vaccination with blood collected to establish baseline immune marker levels.
