The COSI BAIR trial will involve approximately 60 children, aged 5 to 8 years old, comprising a subset of participants from the Melbourne Infant Study BCG for Allergy and Infection Reduction (MIS BAIR) randomised controlled trial. The overall aim of this trial is to investigate the specific and heterologous effects of COVID-19 vaccination on immunity in children. COSI BAIR will aim to recruit its participants from the MIS BAIR Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-naïve group. These children will be followed up until 28 days after their final Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Venous blood samples will be collected at two study visits, at Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI): 1. Day 0 - baseline (day of COVID-19 vaccination #1), and 2. Day 84 (28 days after COVID-19 vaccination #2).
