Overview
This study is being done because the investigators would like to learn more about how well the COVID-19 vaccine works in participants with cancer or those who have received a transplant or cellular therapy.
Primary Objective
Assess the immunogenicity to COVID-19 vaccination in patients with cancer and/or transplant and cellular therapy (TCT) recipients.
Secondary Objectives
- Evaluate the antibodies response to COVID-19 vaccination in immunocompromised patients.
- Evaluate the T cell response to COVID-19 vaccination in immunocompromised patients.
Exploratory Objectives
- Assess incidence and severity of COVID-19 infections by 6 months following immunization with a SARS CoV-2 vaccine.
- Assess the durability immune response to COVID-19 vaccination.
- Assess the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccination in immunocompetent children and adolescents without cancer and have not undergone transplant or received cellular therapy.
Description
The investigator will collect a blood sample (about 1 teaspoon each time) from the participant when the participant receive the COVID-19 vaccine(s) as well as an additional blood samples 6 months after the last COVID-19 vaccine.
The participant will be on the study for about 6 months after the last vaccine. After the six-month blood sample is collected, the participant will be off study.
