Conditions
Brief summary
We will recruit up to 3000 participants including ideally 200-300 clinically proven COVID cases to assess 1) Antibody prevalence, performance and responses 2) active T-cell prevalence, responses and types 3) cardiac outcomes over the next 3 years in proven COVID cases versus “others”. Event rates will be obtained through Ministry of Health, GP, DHB, Birth Death & Marriages and phone or email follow up with participants. This will provide a biobank to draw upon for future investigator inspired work.
