The overall objective of POPCORN is to further understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to prepare child health researchers and their networks for the next pandemic or public health issue of importance. Led by Dr. Caroline Quach at the Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine in Montreal, POPCORN will support 16 research sites in pediatric hospitals across the country, including BC Children’s Hospital. This collaboration will allow research sites to mobilize knowledge and provide the latest evidence to decision-makers in Canada and around the world. Dr. Manish Sadarangani is the lead investigator on behalf of the Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program, ACTive (IMPACT).
