Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
