Summary

This study looks at whether sleep habits of 11-12 year olds affect their immune response to the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4). About 66 healthy teens will wear a sleep tracker and keep their normal sleep schedule for 5 weeks. Researchers will measure antibody levels after vaccination to see if sleep quality matters.
