Persons affected by COVID report various problems, yet evidence guide clinical decision making remains scarce. The present study aimed identify research priorities using a citizen science approach and solely considering the needs of those affected. This followed an iterative process...
Much remains unknown regarding the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and variability in seropositive children districts, schools classes as only a few school-based cohort studies exist. Vaccination children, initiated at different times for age groups, adds additional complexity to understanding how developed school aged population.We investigated its Switzerland from June/July 2020 November/December 2021.In this study, antibodies were measured primary secondary randomly selected canton...
