This is a specimen collection study intended to generate a biological specimen repository of samples from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) naïve adults and adolescents ≥12 years old who will receive locally authorized or licensed COVID-19 vaccines. Approximately 1,000 participants will be enrolled. Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples will be obtained either by venipuncture, or by leukapheresis. Serum, RNA, and DNA samples will be obtained by venipuncture. Specimens for mucosal antibody assessments will be collected by nasal swabbing. Biological specimens will be collected from study participants at Baseline prior to the COVID-19 vaccine dose and at timepoints aligned with the study participant's vaccination schedule for a period of up to 1 year following receipt of the initial COVID-19 vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefits of a 8-week yoga program on quality of life in patients suffering from chronic chikungunya. Studies have already shown the effectiveness of yoga practice on various arthralgia's, on the reduction of inflammatory reactions, on psychological disorders/sleep disorders and on quality of life. Considering quality of life as a global experience of balance between physical and mental wellbeing, the hypothesis was that the practice of yoga would globally improve the quality of life of patients with chronic chikungunya.
In most diseases, older people have less typical symptomatology than that described for younger people. The investigators therefore hypothesize that within the framework of coronavirus disease 19, the clinical pictures in the elderly will present specificities that will need to be described. Moreover, since infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) virus is new to humans, the investigators do not yet have sufficient information on the fate of the elderly, in terms of loss of autonomy, rehospitalization, institutionalization, mortality, etc. the investigators therefore assume that the clinical pictures in the elderly will present specificities that will need to be described. The investigators hypothesize that an acute infection of this type will have short-, medium-, and long-term repercussions in the elderly.
