News

Posted on

As the BC government is encouraging everyone to make a final push to get as many people vaccinated as possible, it is also a great time to help out with COVID-19 vaccine research here in BC.

There are multiple research studies going on at the Vaccine Evaluation Center at BC Children’s Hospital — including the MOSAIC Study and the PREVENT-COVID Study — looking into the long-term impact on immune responses from COVID-19 vaccination and the effectiveness of mixing and matching different COVID-19 vaccines.

VEC’s MOSAIC Study

The MOSAIC Study is looking for healthy individuals 18 years of age and older who have received their first dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine but have not received their second dose OR who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine.
