SCIVAX: Biomarkers of Immune Dysfunction and Vaccine Responsiveness in Chronic SCI
Biomarkers of Immune Dysfunction and Vaccine Responsiveness in People With Chronic Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
Sponsor
Northwell Health
Enrollment
140 participants
Start Date
Mar 31, 2023
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this observational research study is to better understand immune responses to vaccines against viruses (influenza or SARS-CoV2). The goal is to determine any differences in immune responses to vaccines in uninjured people and in people living with spinal cord injuries, who are typically at increased risk of infections.
