Emerging data show that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes gut microbiome changes strongly associated with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). The investigators and others have established that an orally ingested probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, Lp299v) reduces circulating levels of cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA), decreases toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation [and downstream interleukin (IL-6)], and improves micro- and macrovascular (brachial artery) endothelial dysfunction [as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD%)] in humans. Recently published data also report impaired brachial FMD% and increased vascular stiffness post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on these data, the investigators hypothesize that supplementation with Lp299v will attenuate SARS-CoV-2 associated endothelial dysfunction by reducing cf-mtDNA, TLR9 activation, and inflammation.

This study will be a phase-1, open-label, placebo-controlled, evaluation of two-dosages of a live, recombinant Newcastle disease virus expressing the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (NDV-HXP-S), an investigational product for IN, IM, or a combined IN+IM vaccination in healthy adults previously immunized against COVID-19. The IN and IM live virus vaccinations will be identical in composition and only differ in route of administration.

This study entitled Community-Centered Interventions for Improved Vaccine Uptake for COVID-19 (CIVIC): Getting to Yes, Michigan!, is designed to increase vaccine uptake among populations that experience COVID-19 related disparities. The investigators will focus on the four counties within Michigan where a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 is within African Americans and Latinx communities, i.e., Wayne, Genesee, Kent and Washtenaw Counties. Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, CIVIC will leverage: its long term relationships with the communities involved, an established CBPR Steering Committee developed and the knowledge gained as a Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) grant recipient, the resources and networks of the University of Michigan CTSA (MICHR), and the expertise of our academic partners to identify and understand factors that contribute to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in African Americans and Latinx communities in Michigan. The investigators will develop and test interventions based on community-centered approaches to achieve a primary goal of increased vaccine uptake. The investigators will achieve this goal with the following aims: 1. Increase understanding of the barriers and drivers of vaccine uptake and hesitancy; 2. Increase vaccine uptake and decrease vaccine hesitancy through the implementation and evaluation of a multi-component intervention; and maintain, enhance, and evaluate the effectiveness of the CIVIC partnership to equitably engage all partners.

Study VBT00001 is planned to be a Phase 1/2, randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center study to be conducted in approximately 980 adults aged 50 years and older in the United States. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of IIV-HD (high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine) + rC19 (adjuvanted recombinant COVID-19 vaccine) vaccine comprised of IIV-HD combined with different recombinant Spike (rS) antigen levels of rC19 compared to IIV-HD alone, rC19 (dose 1) alone, and IIV-HD and rC19 (dose 1) (coadministered in opposite arms). Placebo will be coadministered in the IIV-HD alone, rC19 (dose 1) alone, and IIV-HD + rC19 study groups to control for the number of injections and to maintain observer-blinding. Thus, each participant will receive two injections at enrollment, one in each deltoid muscle. Study details include: - The study duration will be approximately 12 months - Study intervention will be administered via a single intramuscular (IM) injection into the right and left deltoid muscles on D01 - Dose escalation with sequential enrollment (sentinel cohort followed by main cohort for a given dose) - The visit frequency will be D01, D09 (telephone call), D30, D182 (telephone call), and D366 (telephone call) Number of Participants: Approximately 980 participants are expected to be randomized.

The goal of this proof-of-concept clinical trial is to determine whether cardiac rehabilitation improves exercise capacity and chronotropic (heart rate) response to exercise among people with Long COVID. The study will include individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptoms not present prior to COVID-19 that are persistent for at least 3 months after acute infection ("Long COVID"), and who have reduced exercise capacity less than predicted and reduced heart rate response during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). In addition to the primary outcome of change in peak VO2, secondary outcomes will include change in symptoms including autonomic symptoms (COMPASS-31), anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), endothelial function with brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, and satisfaction (net-promotor score).

Lung transplant recipients have poor outcomes after COVID-19 infection with mortality. Due to the immunosuppression, they have had poor responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and remain at high risk of poor outcomes. This is a Phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immune response from a higher dose mRNA-1273 vaccine among lung transplant recipients who have already received three or four doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

This phase 2 trial studies the immune response to GEO-CM04S1 (previously designated as COH04S1) compared to standard of care (SOC) mRNA SARS-COV-2 vaccine in patients with blood cancer who have received stem cell transplant or cellular therapy. GEO-CM04S1 belongs to a category called modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccines, created from a new version of MVA, called synthetic MVA. GEO-CM04S1 works by inducing immunity (the ability to recognize and fight against an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The immune system is stimulated to produce antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 that would block the virus from entering healthy cells. The immune system also grows new disease fighting T cells that can recognize and destroy infected cells. Giving GEO-CM04S1 after cellular therapy may work better in reducing the chances of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or developing a severe form of COVID-19 disease in patients with blood cancer compared to SOC mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Dime La VerDAD is an innovative social media capacity-building program that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. The core of the implementation strategy consists of augmenting training and self-efficacy for natural community champions, "promotores de salud" from the Hispanic community as trusted messengers to debunk vaccination misinformation. The study will leverage existing community relationships in Chicago and a first of its kind misinformation curriculum to debunk misinformation in communities served by participating promotores de salud. Dime La VerDAD (Verify, Debunk, and Disseminate) is an innovative social media capacity-building program based on theoretical frameworks related to health communication that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. This mixed methods study will use a rigorous stepped wedge design to 1) deliver a scalable program of science communicators using an adapted curriculum grounded in infodemiology, 2) evaluate how debunking misinformation is perceived on social media, and 3) discern how use of personal narratives to enhance science communication can lead to changes in opinions and behavior (vaccination rates) about COVID and influenza vaccines among Chicago's predominantly Hispanic communities.

The purpose of this research study is to find out how well two different 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccines protect people from COVID-19 (the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus), and to determine if getting a 2023-2024 updated vaccine provides better protection from COVID-19 than not getting a vaccine. If the participant chooses to get a 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine as part of this study, they will have a 50/50 chance of receiving either the Novavax or Pfizer mRNA vaccine. If the participant decides not to get a 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine, the participant can still participate in other study activities. STUDY ACTIVITIES: - An online enrollment survey - An in-person enrollment visit - Weekly online surveys for 20 weeks - Weekly COVID-19 tests for 20 weeks - Additional online surveys if you have COVID-19 symptoms or tested positive for COVID-19. - Additional COVID-19 tests if you have COVID-19 symptoms or tested positive. - Online survey questions in the middle and at the end of the study
