Tracking COVID for Safer Schools
The primary objectives of this study are:
1. To determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among the school staff, particularly classroom educators,
2. To determine the impact of COVID-19 on school staffs’ psychological well-being
3. To assess COVID-19 vaccine receptiveness among school staff,
The secondary objectives are:
1. To estimate SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic transmission rates in schools.
2. To profile participants’ baseline T and B cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and circulating coronavirus
3. To assess baseline cellular and antibody cross-reactive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal circulating coronavirus, and responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in this population.
