    Availability, cost, and budget impact of lifesaving postpartum hemorrhage interventions in public hospitals in Zambia: A cross-sectional survey.
    (2026-Jul) Kapesa, Herbert; Manasyan, Albert; Muttau, Nobutu; Sinkey, Rachel G.; Gallos, Ioannis; Tembo, Tannia
    OBJECTIVE: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality globally. Most PPH deaths are preventable through evidence-based interventions. This study assessed the availability, direct costs, and economic implications of World Health Organization-recommended PPH interventions in public hospitals in Zambia. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 31 purposively selected public hospitals across seven provinces. Data (June 2019 to May 2020) on PPH prevalence, resource availability, and direct costs of PPH interventions were collected via a structured questionnaire administered to hospital administrators. An ingredients-based costing model compared an ideal pathway (severe PPH managed at a fully equipped primary-level health facility) to a referral pathway (patients unresponsive to early-stage interventions transferred to a tertiary hospital). Data were analyzed using Python. RESULTS: Among 74 238 deliveries, 1957 (2.6%) were PPH cases, resulting in 94 (4.8%) fatalities. Most cases (86.9%) received medical management, primarily by nurse-midwives. Tranexamic acid (TXA) was available in only 58.1% of the hospitals (subsidized cost: US$1.91/dose). Managing a severe PPH case in the ideal pathway cost US$133.46-US$276.22, compared to US$153.34-US$332.53 via the referral pathway , representing an 18.6% increase. Scaled nationally (approximately 672 000 births), this inefficiency translates to an avoidable annual burden of US$133121. CONCLUSION: While oxytocin is universally available, access to critical treatments such as TXA and advanced interventions remains limited. The low cost of preventive interventions contrasts with the high cost of managing severe PPH, which is exacerbated by system fragmentation. Strengthening primary-level facilities with essential commodities, surgical capacity, and training is critical to containing costs and reducing maternal mortality due to PPH.

    COVID-19 vaccine uptake and associated risk factors among first antenatal care attendees in Zambia, 2021-2022: A repeated cross-sectional study.
    (2024) Tembo, Tannia; Somwe, Paul; Bosomprah, Samuel; Heilmann, Elizabeth; Kalenga, Kalubi; Moyo, Nyembezi; Kabamba, Bupe; Seffren, Victoria; Fwoloshi, Sombo; Rutagwera, Marie-Reine ; Musunse, Maximillian; Mwiinga, Linos; Gutman, Julie R.; Hines, Jonas Z.; Sikazwe, Izukanji
    Pregnant women are considered a high-risk group for COVID-19, and a priority for vaccination. Routine antenatal care (ANC) provides an opportunity to track trends and factors associated with vaccine uptake. We sought to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women attending ANC and assess the factors associated with vaccine in Zambia. We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study in 39 public health facilities in four districts in Zambia from September 2021 to September 2022. Pregnant women who were aged 15-49 years were enrolled during their first ANC visit. Every month, ~20 women per facility were interviewed during individual HIV counseling and testing. We estimated vaccine uptake as the proportion of eligible participants who self-reported having received the COVID-19 vaccine. A total of 9,203 pregnant women were screened, of which 9,111 (99%) were eligible and had vaccination status. Of the 9,111 included in the analysis, 1,818 (20%) had received the COVID-19 vaccine during the study period, with a trend of increasing coverage with time (0.5% in September 2020, 27% in September 2022). Conversely, 3,789 (42%) reported not being offered a COVID-19 vaccine. We found that women aged 40-49 years, had no education or attained some primary school education, were not employed, and had prior COVID-19 infection were significantly associated with vaccine uptake. COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women was lower than estimates from the general population (27% across the four districts in September 2022), pointing to missed opportunities to protect this high-risk group. ANC visits were a viable point for conducting COVID-19 surveillance. Incorporating the vaccine as part of the routine ANC package might increase coverage in this group.

    Differentiated community-based point-of-care early infant diagnosis to improve HIV diagnosis and ART initiation among infants and young children in Zambia: a quasi-experimental cohort study.
    (2025-Feb-20) Manasyan, Albert; Tembo, Tannia; Dale, Helen; Pry, Jake M.; Itoh, Megumi; Williamson, Dhelia; Kapesa, Herbert; Derado, Josip; Beard, Rachel S.; Iyer, Shilpa; Gass, Salome; Mwila, Annie; Herce, Michael E.
    INTRODUCTION: An estimated 800 000 children (<15 years) globally living with HIV remain undiagnosed. To reach these children with timely HIV testing services during infancy, we implemented a community-based differentiated care model using mobile point-of-care (POC) technology for early infant diagnosis (EID) of HIV, and assessed its effects on EID positivity, antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and 3-month retention in care. METHODS: Between 1 June 2019 and 31 May 2020 at six health facilities in Lusaka, Zambia, we enrolled mother-infant pairs (MIPs) at high risk for vertical transmission of HIV based on missing or late infant EID testing or other maternal risk factors. We offered these MIPs community POC EID testing (post-intervention), and compared their outcomes to historical high-risk controls at the same sites (1 June 2017-31 May 2018; pre-intervention). We used propensity score matched weighting and mixed effects regression modelling to estimate outcome differences pre-intervention and post-intervention, and to identify MIP characteristics predictive of vertical transmission of HIV. RESULTS: 2577 MIPs were included in the analysis: 1763 and 814 high-risk MIPs from the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods, respectively. Infant HIV positivity was significantly higher in the post-intervention (2.2%) vs pre-intervention (1.1%) period (p=0.038), however this difference was attenuated (0.83%, 95% CI: -0.50%, 2.15%) after adjusting for differences in maternal age, maternal antenatal care visits, infant birth month and facility. During the post-intervention period, MIPs where the mother disengaged from care were 12.97 (95% CI: 2.41, 69.98) times as likely to have an infant diagnosed with HIV vs those in which the infant received late EID testing without maternal care disengagement. Among 18 infants diagnosed with HIV by the intervention, 16 (88.9%) initiated same-day ART and all continued ART at 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: Community-based differentiated care employing POC EID technology increased testing positivity in unadjusted analyses, and resulted in high ART initiation and early care retention, suggesting it may be a promising approach for reaching infants and young children living with HIV being missed by current facility-based approaches. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This trial is registered under the following Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT03133728.

    Evaluating the costs of cholera illness and cost-effectiveness of a single dose oral vaccination campaign in Lusaka, Zambia.
    (2019) Tembo, Tannia; Simuyandi, Michelo; Chiyenu, Kanema; Sharma, Anjali; Chilyabanyama, Obvious N.; Mbwili-Muleya, Clara; Mazaba, Mazyanga L.; Chilengi, Roma
    INTRODUCTION: In 2016, for the very first time, the Ministry of Health in Zambia implemented a reactive outbreak response to control the spread of cholera and vaccinated at-risk populations with a single dose of Shancol-an oral cholera vaccine (OCV). This study aimed to assess the costs of cholera illness and determine the cost-effectiveness of the 2016 vaccination campaign. METHODOLOGY: From April to June 2017, we conducted a retrospective cost and cost-effectiveness analysis in three peri-urban areas of Lusaka. To estimate costs of illness from a household perspective, a systematic random sample of 189 in-patients confirmed with V. cholera were identified from Cholera Treatment Centre registers and interviewed for out-of-pocket costs. Vaccine delivery and health systems costs were extracted from financial records at the District Health Office and health facilities. The cost of cholera treatment was derived by multiplying the subsidized cost of drugs by the quantity administered to patients during hospitalisation. The cost-effectiveness analysis measured incremental cost-effectiveness ratio-cost per case averted, cost per life saved and cost per DALY averted-for a single dose OCV. RESULTS: The mean cost per administered vaccine was US$1.72. Treatment costs per hospitalized episode were US$14.49-US$18.03 for patients ≤15 years old and US$17.66-US$35.16 for older patients. Whereas households incurred costs on non-medical items such as communication, beverages, food and transport during illness, a large proportion of medical costs were borne by the health system. Assuming vaccine effectiveness of 88.9% and 63%, a life expectancy of 62 years and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of US$1,500, the costs per case averted were estimated US$369-US$532. Costs per life year saved ranged from US$18,515-US$27,976. The total cost per DALY averted was estimated between US$698-US$1,006 for patients ≤15 years old and US$666-US$1,000 for older patients. CONCLUSION: Our study determined that reactive vaccination campaign with a single dose of Shancol for cholera control in densely populated areas of Lusaka was cost-effective.

    Implementing SARS-CoV-2 routine surveillance in antenatal care in Zambia, 2021-2022: best practices and lessons learned.
    (2025-Feb-28) Tembo, Tannia ; Heilmann, Elizabeth; Kabamba, Bupe M.; Fwoloshi, Sombo; Kalenga, Kalubi; Chilambe, Felix; Siwinga, Mpanji; Rutagwera, Marie-Reine ; Musunse, Maximillian; Kangale, Chabu; Yingst, Samuel; Yadav, Ruchi; Savory, Theodora; Gutman, Julie R.; Sikazwe, Izukanji ; Mulenga, Lloyd B.; Bolton-Moore, Carolyn; Hines, Jonas Z.
    BACKGROUND: In Zambia, the true extent of SARS-CoV-2 infections is unknown because initial surveillance focused on patients with symptoms or severe disease. Antenatal sentinel surveillance had not been used to assess infection trends. The ANC COVID-19 surveillance study sought to determine SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women. We provide insight into the study implementation, challenges encountered, best practices, and lessons learned. METHODS: A repeated cross-sectional seroprevalence survey was implemented at 39 health facilities in four districts from September 2021 to September 2022. Pregnant women aged 15-49 years were enrolled at their first antenatal care visits. An electronic questionnaire gathered demographics and other COVID-19 related information from consenting participants. A dried blood sample was collected to detect IgG antibodies using a multiplex bead assay. Seropositive results were categorized as infection, infection and vaccination or infection based on anti-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid test results. Problems and their root causes were identified as they occurred. Practical problem-solving strategies were devised, implemented, and monitored to ensure that goals were accomplished. RESULTS: In the primary analysis, 7% of the 9,221 samples collected from participants were not tested because they were missing. COVID-19 vaccine uptake of 9,111 pregnant women was assessed. Approximately 64% of participants were cumulatively seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Seroprevalence increased from 27.8% in September 2021 to 56.6% in July 2022. We observed an increase in vaccine coverage (0.5-27%) over time. Women aged 40-49 years old, without education and with prior COVID-19 infection were associated with higher vaccine uptake. The Delta variant of COVID-19 and the reallocation of health facilities between two partners delayed surveillance activities and increased the cost of implementation (e.g., the purchase of additional calibration and validation kits and DBS cards). Protocol deviations were attributed to the lack of experience in conducting research but, the district RAs repeatedly trained health facility staff to enhance their research knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: Incorporating SARS-CoV-2 surveillance into routine antenatal care is feasible and potentially sustainable when existing health system infrastructure, human resources, and surveillance systems are leveraged. Yet, careful planning is needed to anticipate implementation challenges and ensure high-quality data collection.

    Redefining and revisiting cost estimates of routine ART care in Zambia: an analysis of ten clinics.
    (2020-Feb) Tucker, Austin; Tembo, Tannia; Tampi, Radhika P.; Mutale, Jacob; Mukumba-Mwenechanya, Mpande; Sharma, Anjali; Dowdy, David W.; Bolton-Moore, Carolyn; Geng, Elvin; Holmes, Charles B.; Sikazwe, Izukanji; Sohn, Hojoon
    INTRODUCTION: Accurate costing is key for programme planning and policy implementation. Since 2011, there have been major changes in eligibility criteria and treatment regimens with price reductions in ART drugs, programmatic changes resulting in clinical task-shifting and decentralization of ART delivery to peripheral health centres making existing evidence on ART care costs in Zambia out-of-date. As decision makers consider further changes in ART service delivery, it is important to understand the current drivers of costs for ART care. This study provides updates on costs of ART services for HIV-positive patients in Zambia. METHODS: We evaluated costs, assessed from the health systems perspective and expressed in 2016 USD, based on an activity-based costing framework using both top-down and bottom-up methods with an assessment of process and capacity. We collected primary site-level costs and resource utilization data from government documents, patient chart reviews and time-and-motion studies conducted in 10 purposively selected ART clinics. RESULTS: The cost of providing ART varied considerably among the ten clinics. The average per-patient annual cost of ART service was $116.69 (range: $59.38 to $145.62) using a bottom-up method and $130.32 (range: $94.02 to $162.64) using a top-down method. ART drug costs were the main cost driver (67% to 7% of all costs) and are highly sensitive to the types of patient included in the analysis (long-term vs. all ART patients, including those recently initiated) and the data sources used (facility vs. patient level). Missing capacity costs made up 57% of the total difference between the top-down and bottom-up estimates. Variability in cost across the ten clinics was associated with operational characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: Real-world costs of current routine ART services in Zambia are considerably lower than previously reported estimates and sensitive to operational factors and methods used. We recommend collection and monitoring of resource use and capacity data to periodically update cost estimates.

    Signal functions for emergency obstetric care as an intervention for reducing maternal mortality: a survey of public and private health facilities in Lusaka District, Zambia.
    (2017-Sep-06) Tembo, Tannia; Chongwe, Gershom; Vwalika, Bellington; Sitali, Lungowe
    BACKGROUND: Zambia's maternal mortality ratio was estimated at 398/100,000 live births in 2014. Successful aversion of deaths is dependent on availability and usability of signal functions for emergency obstetric and neonatal care. Evidence of availability, usability and quality of signal functions in urban settings in Zambia is minimal as previous research has evaluated their distribution in rural settings. This survey evaluated the availability and usability of signal functions in private and public health facilities in Lusaka District of Zambia. METHODS: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted between November 2014 and February 2015 at 35 public and private health facilities. The Service Availability and Readiness Assessment tool was adapted and administered to overall in-charges, hospital administrators or maternity ward supervisors at health facilities providing maternal and newborn health services. The survey quantified infrastructure, human resources, equipment, essential drugs and supplies and used the UN process indicators to determine availability, accessibility and quality of signal functions. Data on deliveries and complications were collected from registers for periods between June 2013 and May 2014. RESULTS: Of the 35 (25.7% private and 74.2% public) health facilities assessed, only 22 (62.8%) were staffed 24 h a day, 7 days a week and had provided obstetric care 3 months prior to the survey. Pre-eclampsia/ eclampsia and obstructed labor accounted for most direct complications while postpartum hemorrhage was the leading cause of maternal deaths. Overall, 3 (8.6%) and 5 (14.3%) of the health facilities had provided Basic and Comprehensive EmONC services, respectively. All facilities obtained blood products from the only blood bank at a government referral hospital. CONCLUSION: The UN process indicators can be adequately used to monitor progress towards maternal mortality reduction. Lusaka district had an unmet need for BEmONC as health facilities fell below the minimum UN standard. Public health facilities with capacity to perform signal functions should be upgraded to Basic EmONC status. Efforts must focus on enhancing human resource capacity in EmONC and improving infrastructure and supply chain. Obstetric health needs and international trends must drive policy change.

    "Testing Can Be Done Anywhere": A Qualitative Assessment of Targeted Community-Based Point-of-Care Early Infant Diagnosis of HIV in Lusaka, Zambia.
    (2022-Jun-29) Tembo, Tannia; Dale, Helen; Muttau, Nobutu ; Itoh, Megumi; Williamson, Dhelia; Mwamba, Chanda; Manasyan, Albert; Beard, Suzanne R.; Cox, Mackenzie H.; Herce, Michael E.
    INTRODUCTION: Delayed HIV diagnosis in HIV-exposed infants (HEIs) results in missed opportunities for early antiretroviral therapy (ART), causing significant morbidity and mortality. Early infant diagnosis (EID) depends on the availability of accessible and reliable testing services. We explored the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of deploying a targeted community-based point-of-care (POC) EID testing model (i.e., "community POC model") to reach high-risk mother-infant pairs (MIPs) in Lusaka, Zambia. METHODS: We conducted in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of health care workers, study staff, and caregivers in high-risk MIPs at 6 health facilities included in a larger implementation research study evaluating the community POC model. We defined "high-risk MIPs" as mothers who did not receive antenatal testing or an attended delivery or infants who missed EID testing milestones. Interviews were audio-recorded, translated, and transcribed verbatim in English. Content and thematic analysis were done using NVivo 10 software. RESULTS: Health care workers (n=20) and study staff (n=12) who implemented the community POC model noted that the portability and on-screen prompts of the POC platform made it mobile and easy to use, but maintenance and supply chain management were key to field operations. Respondents also felt that the community POC model reached more infants who had never had EID testing, allowing them to find infants with HIV infection and immediately initiate them on ART. Caregivers (n=22) found the community POC model acceptable, provided that privacy could be ensured because the service was convenient and delivered close to home. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of implementing the community POC model in Zambia, while identifying potential challenges related to client privacy and platform field operations. The community POC model may represent a promising strategy to further facilitate active HIV case finding and linkage to ART for children with undiagnosed HIV infection in the community.

    The association of maternal age with adverse neonatal outcomes in Lusaka, Zambia: a prospective cohort study.
    (2020-Nov-11) Tembo, Tannia; Koyuncu, Aybüke ; Zhuo, Haoran; Mwendafilumba, Martha; Manasyan, Albert
    BACKGROUND: Pregnancy among adolescents, whether intended or not, is a public health concern as it is generally considered high risk for both mothers and their newborns. In Zambia, where many women engage in early sexual behaviour or marry at a young age, 28.5% of girls aged 15-19 years were pregnant with their first child in the year 2013-2014. This study sought to explore associations between maternal age and neonatal outcomes among pregnant women in Lusaka, Zambia. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of data nested within a larger population-based prospective cohort study which was implemented in three government health facilities-two first level hospitals and one clinic in Lusaka, Zambia. Women presenting to the study sites for antenatal care were enrolled into the study and followed up for collection of maternal and neonatal outcomes at 7, 28 and 42 days postpartum. The study's primary outcomes were the incidence of maternal and newborn complications and factors associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. Statistical significance was evaluated at a significance level of P < 0.05. RESULTS: The study included 11,501 women, 15.6% of whom were adolescents aged 10-19 years. Generally, adolescence did not have statistically significant associations with poor maternal health outcomes. However, the risk of experiencing obstructed labour, premature rupture of membranes and postpartum hemorrhage was higher among adolescents than women aged 20-24 years while the risk of severe infection was lower and non-significant. Adolescents also had 1.36 times the odds of having a low birthweight baby (95% CI 1.12, 1.66) and were at risk of preterm birth (aOR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.06, 1.84). Their newborns were in need of bag and mask resuscitation at birth (aOR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.41, 0.93). Advanced maternal age was significantly associated with increased odds of hypertension/ pre-eclampsia (95% CI 1.54, 5.89) and preterm labour (aOR = 2.78, 95% CI 1.24, 6.21). CONCLUSIONS: Adolescence is a risk factor for selected pregnancy outcomes in urban health facilities in Lusaka, Zambia. Health care workers should intensify the provision of targeted services to improve neonatal health outcomes. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical trial number and URL:  NCT03923023 (Retrospectively registered). Clinical trial registration date: April 22, 2019.

    The Costs and Cost-Effectiveness of a District-Strengthening Strategy to Mitigate the 3 Delays to Quality Maternal Health Care: Results From Uganda and Zambia.
    (2019-Mar-11) Johns, Benjamin; Hangoma, Peter; Atuyambe, Lynn; Faye, Sophie; Tumwine, Mark; Zulu, Collen; Levitt, Marta; Tembo, Tannia; Healey, Jessica; Li, Rui; Mugasha, Christine; Serbanescu, Florina; Conlon, Claudia M.
    The primary objective of this study was to estimate the costs and the incremental cost-effectiveness of maternal and newborn care associated with the Saving Mothers, Giving Life (SMGL) initiative-a comprehensive district-strengthening approach addressing the 3 delays associated with maternal mortality-in Uganda and Zambia. To assess effectiveness, we used a before-after design comparing facility outcome data from 2012 (before) and 2016 (after). To estimate costs, we used unit costs collected from comparison districts in 2016 coupled with data on health services utilization from 2012 in SMGL-supported districts to estimate the costs before the start of SMGL. We collected data from health facilities, ministerial health offices, and implementing partners for the year 2016 in 2 SMGL-supported districts in each country and in 3 comparison non-SMGL districts (2 in Zambia, 1 in Uganda). Incremental costs for maternal and newborn health care per SMGL-supported district in 2016 was estimated to be US$845,000 in Uganda and $760,000 in Zambia. The incremental cost per delivery was estimated to be $38 in Uganda and $95 in Zambia. For the districts included in this study, SMGL maternal and newborn health activities were associated with approximately 164 deaths averted in Uganda and 121 deaths averted in Zambia in 2016 compared to 2012. In Uganda, the cost per death averted was $10,311, or $177 per life-year gained. In Zambia, the cost per death averted was $12,514, or $206 per life-year gained. The SMGL approach can be very cost-effective, with the cost per life-year gained as a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP) being 25.6% and 16.4% in Uganda and Zambia, respectively. In terms of affordability, the SMGL approach could be paid for by increasing health spending from 7.3% to 7.5% of GDP in Uganda and from 5.4% to 5.8% in Zambia.

    Trends in SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among pregnant women attending first antenatal care visits in Zambia: A repeated cross-sectional survey, 2021-2022.
    (2024) Heilmann, Elizabeth; Tembo, Tannia; Fwoloshi, Sombo; Kabamba, Bupe ; Chilambe, Felix; Kalenga, Kalubi; Siwingwa, Mpanji; Mulube, Conceptor; Seffren, Victoria; Bolton-Moore, Carolyn; Simwanza, John; Yingst, Samuel; Yadav, Ruchi ; Rogier, Eric; Auld, Andrew F.; Agolory, Simon; Kapina, Muzala; Gutman, Julie R.; Savory, Theodora; Kangale, Chabu; Mulenga, Lloyd B.; Sikazwe, Izukanji ; Hines, Jonas Z.
    SARS-CoV-2 serosurveys help estimate the extent of transmission and guide the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines. We measured SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among women attending ANC clinics to assess exposure trends over time in Zambia. We conducted repeated cross-sectional SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence surveys among pregnant women aged 15-49 years attending their first ANC visits in four districts of Zambia (two urban and two rural) during September 2021-September 2022. Serologic testing was done using a multiplex bead assay which detects IgG antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein and the spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD). We calculated monthly SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence by district. We also categorized seropositive results as infection alone, infection and vaccination, or vaccination alone based on anti-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid test results and self-reported COVID-19 vaccination status (vaccinated was having received ≥1 dose). Among 8,304 participants, 5,296 (63.8%) were cumulatively seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from September 2021 through September 2022. SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence primarily increased from September 2021 to September 2022 in three districts (Lusaka: 61.8-100.0%, Chongwe: 39.6-94.7%, Chipata: 56.5-95.0%), but in Chadiza, seroprevalence increased from 27.8% in September 2021 to 77.2% in April 2022 before gradually dropping to 56.6% in July 2022. Among 5,906 participants with a valid COVID-19 vaccination status, infection alone accounted for antibody responses in 77.7% (4,590) of participants. Most women attending ANC had evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and most SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity was infection-induced. Capturing COVID-19 vaccination status and using a multiplex bead assay with anti-nucleocapsid and anti-RBD targets facilitated distinguishing infection-induced versus vaccine-induced antibody responses during a period of increasing COVID-19 vaccine coverage in Zambia. Declining seroprevalence in Chadiza may indicate waning antibodies and a need for booster vaccines. ANC clinics have a potential role in ongoing SARS-CoV-2 serosurveillance and can continue to provide insights into SARS-CoV-2 antibody dynamics to inform near real-time public health responses.
