Table 2.

Absolute number of white blood cells (WBC), lymphocytes, CD20, CD3, CD4 and CD8 before the first (T0) and 21 days after the second (T1) vaccine dose in multiple sclerosis subjects under different disease modifying therapies (DMTs). Mann-Whitney two-tailed was performed and a p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
