Supplementary Information

A random sample of emails of persons registering for vaccination at an Ontario center who provide their email and consent to be contacted for research in the target population age groups will be forwarded by the Ministry of Ontario to the study site. The study site in turn will forward the email blast electronically to the participants on the list directing them to the STOPCoV study website.
