Including vaccination programs. Serial seroprevalence estimates in  general population samples help to inform changes in SARS-CoV-2 cumulative incidence over time and changes in population immunity. Serial sero-surveys can also help identify gaps in population immunity within specific populations to inform targeted interventions, such as targeted vaccination campaigns. Furthermore, they can inform the contribution of vaccination \nto population immunity and can be leveraged, within population cohorts, to evaluate the duration of immunity conferred from either natural infection or vaccination.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2022-03-01","end":"2022-06-30","cycle":"round 2, following SEECK"}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"Ken"}],"geog_coverage":"National coverage","analysis_unit":"Blood samples from individual residents randomly selected from all ages in Korogocho and Viwandani.","universe":"The study was conducted in two informal settlements (Korogocho and Viwandani) located on the outskirts of Nairobi City.
