SCIVAX: Biomarkers of Immune Dysfunction and Vaccine Responsiveness in Chronic SCI

Description

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.

Conditions
