Active Studies
SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Study - Pediatric Sub-study
Do you want to learn how your child’s body responds to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine? We are currently recruiting children between the ages 5-17, both with and without Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) at BC Children’s Hospital.
Our study will involve antibody testing before and after vaccination, including an optional microbiome component. The purpose is to understand how vaccine dosing schedules and pre-existing antibodies impact your long-term response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
To participate or for more info, please email gloria.yu2@cw.bc.ca with the subject line, “SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Study.”

BC Children's Hospital Research Institute COVID-19 Studies
Current and completed COVID-19 research led by researchers at BC Children's Hospital and BC Women's Hospital.
COVID Antibody Study
The main purpose of this study is to determine what proportion of individuals have developed natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2 through a prior, symptomatic or silent exposure to the virus.
Immunogenicity of current SARS-CoV-2 vaccine schedules currently used in Canada
The results of this study will help increase our understanding of the factors that contribute to overall vaccine immune response in Canadians and may provide new avenues to improve vaccine efficacy in non-responders.
Tracking COVID-19 for Safer Schools
The main objective of this study is to determine the extent to which school workers can be exposed to COVID-19 as part of their occupation. Results of this study will be used to develop strategies to help make Canadian schools safer for everyone.
