ClinConnect Summary

The EuCARE-HCW study is looking at how COVID-19 affects healthcare workers, specifically focusing on their vaccination and infection history. This research involves gathering information and samples from healthcare workers across eight countries, including Portugal, Italy, and Mexico. The goal is to understand how different variants of the virus might impact the body’s immune response, including how well vaccines work against these variants.

If you're a healthcare worker aged 18 or older and have information about your COVID-19 vaccination and infection history, you may be eligible to participate in this study. There are no specific exclusions, so most healthcare workers can join. Participants will provide samples and information that will help researchers analyze how the virus and vaccines interact. Your involvement could contribute valuable insights into improving COVID-19 responses in the healthcare community.
