Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
From April 2020 to March 2023, the Covid-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF) supported 120 studies to generate knowledge about immunity to SARS-CoV-2. The subjects addressed by these studies include the extent of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada, the nature of immunity, vaccine effectiveness and safety, and the need for booster shots among different communities and priority populations in Canada. The CITF Databank was developed to further enhance the impact of CITF funded studies by allowing additional research using the data collected from CITF-supported studies. The CITF Databank centralizes and harmonizes individual-level data from CITF-funded studies that have met all ethical requirements to deposit data in the CITF Databank and have completed a data sharing agreement. The CITF Databank is an internationally unique resource for sharing epidemiological and laboratory data from studies about SARS-CoV-2 immunity in different populations. The types of research that are possible with data from the CITF Databank include observational epidemiological studies, mathematical modelling research, and comparative evaluation of surveillance and laboratory methods.
