Objectives
To assess the reactogenicity, measure the adaptive immune responses and track the long-term immune memory in 11-16-year-old young adolescents and their parents receiving the 3 COVID-19 vaccines-BNT 162b2, coronaVac and AZD1222- chosen by the Hong Kong Government; to compare the reactogenicity and immunogenicity across the 3 vaccines used for these children and their respective parents; and between the children and their parents.
