Shyrar Tanussiya's research focuses on understanding immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines and infections in Sri Lanka. Through multiple studies, the researcher has investigated seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Colombo municipality region, providing valuable insights into the prevalence of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. Additionally, Tanussiya's work has examined immune responses to various COVID-19 vaccines, including Sinopharm/Bibibp-CorV, AZD1222/Covishield, and Sputnik V, shedding light on the efficacy and persistence of these vaccines in Sri Lankan populations. These findings contribute significantly to the global understanding of vaccine effectiveness and inform strategies for controlling the pandemic in low- and middle-income countries like Sri Lanka.
