Surveillance plays a crucial role in understanding the pandemic's progression, identifying risk factors for severe illness, and assessing the effects of vaccination and other public health measures. Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSS) have provided insights into the extent of cumulative infections in Kenya's general population. Previous surveys showed that SARS-CoV-2 infections were widespread in the general population, but with some regional variations. This report presents findings from the third serosurvey conducted between September and December 2022 among residents of two informal settlements in Nairobi - Korogocho and Viwandani - using the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NUHDSS) run by APHRC as the sampling frame from which a random sample of participants is drawn. Similar surveys were also carried out in Kisumu, Kilifi, Siaya, and Kibera in Nairobi.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2022-03-08","end":"2022-06-23","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"National Coverage","analysis_unit":"This study analyzed data from blood samples from individual respondents who are residents of Korogocho and Viwandani.","universe":"The survey covered all the NUHDSS household members (usual residents) from  Nairobi (Korogocho and Viwandani).","notes":"The scope of the KEMIS study includes:\nSociodemographic information: Participants name, education, religion, age, gender, place of residence.\nHealth information: Access to prevention services, risk of exposure to COVID 19, outmigration and inmigration information, vaccination status of children participants, COVID-19 vaccination status,  laboratory information including blood sample collection.","study_scope":"The scope of the KEMIS study includes:\nSociodemographic information: Participants name, education, religion, age, gender, place of residence.\nHealth information: Access to prevention services, risk of exposure to COVID 19, outmigration and inmigration information, vaccination status of children participants, COVID-19 vaccination status,  laboratory information including blood sample collection."},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"This study was conducted on a randomly selected population of 850 adults and children living within the health and demographic surveillance system area (HDSS) run by APHRC.
