Brief summary

The overarching primary research question for the QoVax SET Mixed Dose 1 and 2 study is; In the Queensland community, do heterologous COVID-19 vaccine doses 1 and 2 compared with homologous doses 1 and 2, offer higher recall levels of spike IgG, spike IgA, neutralizing IgG, and cell mediated immunity at 4 months post dose 2. The QoVAX Mixed Dose 1 and 2 study will address these specific research questions; 1. What are the host intrinsic (HLA type, genetic traits, immunological T and B cell receptor repertoires) and extrinsic factors (socio-economic health determinants, environmental exposures e.g. smoking) associated with variation in immune outcomes following vaccination? 2. Do members of the community who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait and/or South Sea Islander, or as being from diverse ethnic backgrounds, show similar vaccine responses? 3. Do certain pre-existing health conditions (autoimmunity, cancer, immunodeficiency), and medication use effect response variation of primary immune outcome measures? Further research objectives are to investigate medium-term health outcomes of vaccinated research participants at 12 months following recruitment, to identify factors associated with i) safety outcomes, and ii) vaccine efficacy outcomes in the study cohort.

Interventions

Heterologous COVID-19 vaccines (BNT162b2 (BioNTech, Pfizer)/ChAdOx1 (Oxford, AstraZeneca) or ChAdOx1/BNT162b2) for doses 1 and 2 Participants complete a questionnaire and have blood and saliva samples collected at 4 - 6 months post the second vaccine dose. The questionnaire and samples are repeated at 4 weeks after the COVID-19 booster dose, and 12-months post the date of recruitment.
