While we previously reported age-dependent antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in children with DS, cellular vaccine responses in this population remain insufficiently characterized. We evaluated vaccine-induced T-cell responses in children with DS following primary mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
