-To systematically evaluate the epidemiological and clinical data illustrating that biological sex and pregnancy impact COVID-19 outcomes
-To review evidence that sex intersects with age to influence immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines
-To consider how preclinical animal models can provide mechanistic insights into how biological sex and pregnancy impact the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and vaccine-induced immunity and protection.
