Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Does antibody development to SARS-CoV-2 S protein differ after vaccination between those who have had a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to Covid-19 naive individuals?;Secondary Objective: Better understanding of how the human immune system reacts when exposed to foreign protein antigen measured as antibody level in serum, plasma and mucosa as well as at the cellular and genetic level. The secondary issues are those that are general to understanding how the human immune system works in both infection and vaccination.;Primary end point(s): Investigate the level of specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 yearly, up to four years after vaccination.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1, 2, 3, 4 year after vaccination | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Analyzes to investigate how the human immune system reacts to Covid 19 vaccine.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Before and after each dose of vaccine. Thereafter the following times after vaccination: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years and 4 years. | — |
