The Healthcare Worker Exposure Response & Outcomes (HERO) Registry and the HERO-TOGETHER study are now open to anyone who lives, works, or interacts with healthcare workers in their households or anyone in the surrounding community. The HERO program enables participants to share their experiences after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, contribute to the science, and help to build vaccine confidence over time.

HERO-TOGETHER is a nationwide paid study focused on the long-term impact of the COVID-19 vaccines. Healthcare workers around the country have already signed up. Now all healthcare workers and anyone who lives, works, or interacts with them are invited to join the study. Participants answer brief surveys about how they’re feeling and any health changes since receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Participants receive information back and up to $200 compensation for their time. Sign up here.
