ACU is currently conducting a longitudinal research study on the efficacy of COVID vaccines. After filling out a consent form, volunteers will simply donate a small sample of blood. Each donation will take place at ACU, and should take about 5-10 minutes. Volunteers will be asked to return to campus every 3 months after full vaccination to continue to monitor their antibody titer. Who can participate: Anyone 12 years or older in good health who has received, or who is planning on getting the COVID vaccine. Anyone 12 years or older in good health who is not planning to receive the COVID vaccine. Volunteers will receive information regarding their own antibody titer.
Additional information can be found at: https://blogs.acu.edu/covidresearch/
