Objectives
To assess the reactogenicity, measure the adaptive immune responses and track the long-term immune memory in 11-17-year-old young adolescents and adults receiving COVID-19 vaccines, i.e. 3 doses of CoronaVac in those healthy or immunocompromised, or 3 doses of BNT162b2 in those immunocompromised.
