woman happy with immunization

Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine invite you to participate in a research study to determine immune response to COVID and/or Flu vaccination. Participants will be asked to complete short questionnaires, provide blood samples at time of vaccination and 4 other times (about 7 days after vaccination, about 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the vaccination)

We are looking for:

  • Individuals who will get a flu and/or COVID-19 vaccination this fall, speak English, older than 6 months of age for COVID-19, and you have not gotten a vaccine in the last 3 months
  • Able to get blood drawn day before or day of receiving their vaccination before 11am
  • Willing to provide 4 scheduled blood samples during the 6 month follow-up period

It will take about 5 minutes to complete the blood draw, which will occur at a campus facility. The baseline survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete online or in person. Follow-up surveys at each blood draw takes about 5 minutes, online or in person. Participants will be compensated $20 gift card.
