About

CoVaLux focuses on the symptomatology, prevalence, and socio-economic and environmental determinants of Long COVID, as well as on the short- to mid-term impacts of vaccination in relation to the evolution of immunity, breakthrough infections by different variants, and re-infections. CoVaLux also aims to decipher the role of co-infections in COVID-19 and the role of other pathogens during and after the disease.

The study relies on previous national studies (Predi-COVID and CON-VINCE), and complementary data retrieved from different sources.

CoVaLux represents a coordinated effort at the national level to answer important unsolved questions related to COVID-19 and its consequences, relying on an interdisciplinary approach at the crossroads of immunology, psychology, epidemiology, digital health, social science and public health.
