To better understand the complexities of the immune response to the novel coronavirus and evaluate the viral immunity of Arizona essential workers, a University of Arizona Health Sciences research team has been conducting a COVID-19 study since last summer called the Arizona Healthcare, Emergency Response, and Other Essential Workers Surveillance study, or AZ HEROES. The team recently expanded its efforts to look at how well COVID-19 vaccines are working to provide lasting immunity for high-risk populations.
The first iteration of AZ HEROES was launched by researchers in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and the College of Medicine – Tucson to test immunity in essential workers – health care workers, first responders and other frontline workers – across Arizona.
