The COVID-19 pandemic underlined the importance of serosurveillance as an evidence-based tool to understand population immunity, track viral transmission, and guide public health decision making. 1 Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic more than 4200 seroprevalence studies were done in over 145 countries by testing blood specimens from more than 34 million people, 2 In early 2023, the Robert Koch Institute, Germany’s national public health institute, convened a online symposium about international serological studies that involved research organisations, national public health agencies, institutes, and regional public health agencies from low-income and middleincome countries and invited participants to reflect on lessons learned and draw practical conclusions on challenges, opportunities, and next steps (the participating groups are listed in the appendix). Attendees had implemented seroprevalence studies at the national or regional level since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and collectively addressed the questions on how to use this investment to maximise continued public health benefits and to inform future pandemic preparedness and response. Here, we discuss the primary lessons identified by the meeting attendees.
