To determine the need for repeated booster vaccinations in healthy individuals and to aid policymakers in future public health interventions for COVID-19. Gain insight into the immunogenicity of the additional bivalent booster vaccination in a representative sample of the healthy Dutch population. We aim to investigate three main topics: 
i) immunogenicity of bivalent vaccines after priming with adenovirus- or mRNA-based vaccines, 
ii) immunological recall responses and reactivity with relevant variants after booster vaccination, and 
iii) the necessity of booster vaccinations for the healthy population in the future.

My research focuses on the socioeconomic determinants of psychotropic medication use in children and adolescents. Specifically, I aim to identify the complex relationships between socioeconomic factors and psychotropic medication use in young people, and to explore potential avenues for improving health outcomes in this vulnerable population.
