NCT ID NCT05078905
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to understand why the protection from vaccines like those for COVID-19 fades over time. Researchers will follow 1,200 healthy adults for one year, collecting blood samples and health updates after they receive a vaccine or booster in their community. The goal is to learn how the immune system responds to vaccines for COVID-19 and other new infectious diseases.
