Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to measure the immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine in cancer patients and compare to the general population. This information can help optimize the timing of the mRNA-1273 vaccine relative to starting treatment for cancer, adding booster immunizations or incorporation of medications that to enhance the immune response.
