9th December 2021, Pre-MENACTRIMS symposium, as a warm-up for the Sixth MENACTRIMS Congress, ParadigMS Foundation organised this enriching Pre-MENACTRIMS Symposium. Here you can review the full keynote on Human response to COVID-vaccination in MS.
ABSTRACT
Most multiple sclerosis (MS) patients infected with COVID-19 had a mild-moderate infection, with no more relapses or more severe disease course than MS-free patients. This session shed light on the response to vaccination of MS patients, including the influence of the chosen MS treatment on vaccine response. Watch to hear more about the production of antibodies in vaccinated MS patients and the influence of the MS treatment on antibodies production.
