note = "Funding Information: Funding and the longer-term stewardship of such a network is key to its successful implementation. Most seroepidemiologic studies in Canada have been supported by time-limited research funds. 29,38,39,56,57 These studies show the epidemiologic and laboratory capacity to complete such work in Canada. Preliminary establishment of a network is likely to be started on a smaller scale in a limited number of participating provinces and territories, supported by research funds. However, in many jurisdictions, the seroepidemiology network is viewed as a core surveillance activity, as opposed to research, and receives dedicated government funding. The introduction of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, including plans for future surveys, affords the potential for using this federally funded initiative for the implementation of a Canadian seroepidemiology network.
