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. You can participate from anywhere in BC.
