Immune Sub-Study

We are studying children’s immune response to COVID-19 infections and vaccines over time.

The EnCORE immune sub-study is part of a pan-Canadian study conducted in partnership with the Spring study, Child study, and TARGetKids.

Thank you to all children and parents for your interest in participating!

Our recruitment period is now over

How it works

Participate from home or CHU Sainte-Justine

Complete the consent form and answer a few key questions about your child.

Once your registration is complete, we will organize your 1st visit with the study nurse.

Consent & Questionnaire

Visits at home or at the CHU Sainte-Justine will be organized with a research nurse for a blood draw and a saliva sample collection.

There will be 3-4 visits over a eight month period. The research nurse is excellent with children and you will have the option to use a numbing cream before the blood draw.

Blood and Saliva Collection

Your child will be compensated $50 for their time and efforts after each visit.

Results will be sent at the end of the study to the address email provided, along with a detailed interpretation.

Compensation & Results

The sample collection is coming to an end and we are finalizing the analyses. Stay tuned to hear more about the results!
