Blood specimens will be collected for the following immunological and virological studies below:
3. To describe the sensitivity of COV ID-19 breakthrough viruses to prior and co-existing anti-SARS-COV-2 antibody and cellular immune responses after immunization with or without prior history of COVID-19 infection; and to also isolate SARS-CoV-2 Spike-specific human monoclonal antibodies in volunteers with strong neutralization responses.
4. To describe the correlation between pre-COVID-19 vaccination immune status, and outcome of vaccine induced immunity in newly vaccinated persons.
5. To describe COVID 19 immune responses in unvaccinated and already vaccinated persons before and after incident infections
6. To describe break-through viruses following COVID-19 immunization among the vaccinated persons
7. To describe host genetic factors that could be relevant for immune protection and disease outcome

Community Engagement and Schistosomiasis Prevention: A Sociological Analysis of the Citizen Science Model among Selected Communities of Western Uganda
REFNo: SS836ES
Purpose of the study
The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of the Citizen Science model in community engagement to the prevention of schistosomiasis among selected communities of western Uganda. To do this, the study will determine the socio-cultural barriers to the uptake of preventive measures to guide in the development of health education initiatives that can be executed by the Citizen Scientists to help change the behaviour of the community for the prevention of schistosomiasis.
Objectives of the study
This shall be guided by the following research objectives:
1. To determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding schistosomiasis among communities of Western Uganda;
2. To explore the health-seeking practices, attitudes, and behaviour associated with schistosomiasis prevention among communities of Western Uganda
3. To understand the lived experiences and perceptions of schistosomiasis by communities of Western Uganda to determine how citizen scientists can be useful in shaping community perspectives
4. To develop and implement contextualized communication strategies for schistosomiasis prevention based on the outcome of the objectives above with help of the citizen scientists
5. To assess the role of the citizen science model of community engagement in the prevention of schistosomiasis among communities of western Uganda
