ANRS COV-POPART vaccination cohort

Last updated on 24 September 2025

Main points

  • COV-POPART is a French national multicentre cohort study whose objective is to evaluate the humoral immune response to Covid-19 vaccination in a standardised manner in each subpopulation.
  • This cohort study involves the prospective collection of clinical data and the creation of a collection of biological samples (biobanks) with the aim of evaluating the response to Covid-19 vaccination.
  • This study is being conducted among various sub-populations considered to be ‘at risk’ and among a “control” population (not considered to be ‘at risk’).

Primary objective

To evaluate the humoral immune response to Covid-19 vaccination in a standardised manner in each subpopulation:

  • At 1, 6, 12, and 24 months after the single injection (initial single-injection schedule),
  • At the time of the second injection and then 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after the second vaccine injection (initial two- or three-injection schedules) and,
  • One month after the third injection in participants receiving a third injection as part of their initial vaccination schedule, in accordance with current recommendations.
