As the schools return this week in Scotland, more than 220 young ‘Covid Warriors’ have an extra special story to share with their classmates.
The young volunteers, who are children of healthcare workers and aged between 2-16 years old, are helping the important ‘RAPID-19’ research study investigate potential immunity to Covid-19.
The study, which is being carried out by the Glasgow Clinical Research Facility aims to find out whether they have developed immunity to the virus from potential exposure from their healthcare worker parents.
This is one of the few studies looking at children’s immunity to coronavirus.
It is facilitated by Glasgow’s Clinical Research Facility and supported by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
