The effect of sleep and shift work on the primary immune response to messenger RNA‐based COVID‐19 vaccination

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Shift work can cause circadian misalignment, which often results in sleeping problems and has been associated with immune dysfunction. To better understand the impact of shift work on a primary immune response to vaccination, we compared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐specific humoral and cellular immune responses ...
