The CAHHM First Nations (CAHHM-FN) study collaboration has led to innovative spin-off projects that are highlighted below. This forms a platform from which new ideas and studies can be launched. The CAHHM-FN meets each month via Zoom, and this form of “staying together” as a team strengthens our long-term partnerships.

About the study

Three of the eight communities participating in the CAHHM study have committed to join the COVID CommUNITY: First Nations study, with the remaining 5 unable to participate because of the significant workload to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.  Aggregate results and knowledge translation tools developed through this study will be shared with all Alliance communities.

Study objectives

Among men and women living in selected First Nations communities, we will determine:

01.

The humoral immunogenicity in response to the  COVID-19  infection and vaccine over time?

02.

The effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines over time?

03.

The access to, level of trust, and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines?

04.

The contextual factors, i.e.  socioeconomic status, Indigenous determinants of health, household density, occupation type, knowledge or uncertainties about the vaccines, and chronic disease co-morbidities (i.e. hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease), that affect COVID-19 immunogenicity and risk of COVID-19 infection?
