DisCOVEries 2 - An Observational Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of mRNA COVID-19 Bivalent Vaccines (Original and Omicron BA.4/BA.5) and 2023 Updated mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines (XBB.1.5)

The goal of this observational study is to analyze binding antibody levels in adults in the United States (US) after receiving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) bivalent boosters (original and omicron BA.4/5) and updated COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5).
