Title: A Data and Tissue Repository to Facilitate Infectious Diseases Research and Advance Pandemic Preparedness, with a Focus on Respiratory Pathogens
Brief Title: A Data and Tissue Repository for Respiratory Pathogens
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect samples and clinical information from people with symptoms of an acute respiratory illness, such as cough, fever and muscle pain. These are symptoms that are typical of influenza, COVID-19 and other viral infections. We are also collecting samples from people without any symptoms. The goal of the study is to store these samples to help researchers prepare for future outbreaks of infectious diseases.

Title: Infant Vaccine Biorepository
Brief Title: Infant Vaccine Biorepository
Brief Summary: The Infant Vaccine Biorepository is an observational study and the purpose is to better understand how long infant immune protection transferred through the placenta (from mother to baby) after maternal infection or vaccination lasts. We will research infections like influenza (the flu), pertussis (Whooping Cough), and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and others. You will be asked to collect a blood sample from your baby at home at 3-5 months-old, 6-8 months-old, and 9-12 months-old, using an investigational device for blood collection. The device will collect blood from the smallest blood vessels (the capillaries). The consenting parent will also have the option to test the device. Participation in this study will last until your baby is 1 year old. Compensation for participation is included.
