Vaccine Effectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies (VEBIS) of COVID-19 and Influenza – Tender Specifications OJ/2021/DPR/12924  sites to build capacity and conduct the studies. Training sessions will need to be  considered in the form of workshops addressed to all study sites, or targeted to  specific sites. The deliverable includes presentations, minutes, actions points,  feedback from participants, recommendations and plans on how to implement the  recommendations.  DL 4.4.3. Report on  capacity building  Report on the steps taken by the contractor throughout the course of the  implementation of the specific contract to ensure study sites can become  independent in implementing the protocols and validate the data. The deliverable  includes presentations, minutes, actions points, as well as recommendations. The  report should be at least 15 pages and include a table of content, description of the  steps taken throughout the project to support and train the study sites, executive  summary, discussion on results/lessons learned, conclusions and plans on how to  implement the recommendations and action points.

This may require expanding the type of registries to be included and for additional studies to be implemented. It is also unclear how SARS-CoV2 disease incidence may evolve over time with the emergence of new strains of the vaccine that may impact the  effectiveness of currently marketed vaccines. It is also anticipated for disease incidence to be at very low levels not allowing for vaccine effectiveness  studies to be implemented and for new registries and methodologies to be used.  There may also be changes at study site level with the availability of new registries that would require to run additional studies including these additional  registries.  All of the above would require for the contractor to be expected to perform additional studies such as validation studies, additional impact studies or  revise substantially the initial agreed study plans to account for these changes.
