BC-CfE researchers collaborate to determine impact of COVID-19 vaccines in residents of long-term care facilities in BC
BC-CfE researchers are working alongside colleagues from the University of British Columbia, Providence Health Care, and Simon Fraser University to investigate how elderly peoples’ immune systems respond to COVID-19 vaccines. The researchers will also assess the viral, immunological and social factors that have contributed to COVID-19 outbreaks in long-term care facilities in order to better understand why and how the disease has been fatal to so many residents.
