Participants sought for COVID vaccine response study

If you are planning to get your 4th COVID vaccine dose later this calendar year, we kindly ask you to consider being part of our research study, even if you have not been included previously.

What we ask is three blood samples (before, 1 month after and 6 months after dose 4) of about 50ml. We will also obtain general information about your COVID previous vaccinations, SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunological disease and immunosuppressive mediation.

This study is part of the recently MRFF funded PROPHECY study and the data from healthy controls will be used to evaluate and understand impaired immune memory in vulnerable risk groups .

If you are interested, please contact Ms Shir Sun (Shir.Sun@monash.edu) for more information and/or enrolment.

The Van Zelm lab has actively evaluated immune memory after COVID-19 vaccination. We thank all the healthy participants who have kindly participated in our ethics approved study thus far. At the moment we are up to dose number 4.
