We are happy to announce UNO has been selected as one of 20 sites across the country to conduct the “Prevent COVID U” research study.

Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), and the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) are collaborating on this COVID-19 vaccine study and we are pleased to provide an opportunity for you to participate, if you so choose.

This study will help us learn if people who get vaccinated can still transmit COVID-19 to other people, and what we learn can directly benefit students in the future.
