Methods

This cohort study enrolled participants in British Columbia who were receiving their first or second dose of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), or ChAdOx1-S COVID-19 vaccine and over the age of 19, pivoting to oversampling older adults (50+) to address high-priority knowledge gaps. Participants answered an online questionnaire at baseline and provided a blood sample via DBS or venipuncture at baseline and at each follow up (7 times at regular intervals).

Contributed dataset contents: The datasets include 772 participants who completed baseline surveys between February 2021 and May 2022. 96% of these participants gave one or more blood samples between February 2021 and June 2023. A total of 3564 samples were collected. Variables include data in the following areas of information: demographics (date of birth, sex, gender, ethnicity), general health (weight and height, flu vaccine, medical conditions), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and serology (antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 RBD, nucleocapsid, and spike proteins).
