This study aims to use two different blood tests (ELISA and OPA) to study response to pneumococcal vaccination administered as per standard guidelines in patients who are undergoing workup for heart transplant (whether or not they have undergone LVAD implantation or have undergone heart transplant.
The patients will be receiving vaccination consistent with standard of care guidelines, regardless of study participation. The additional risk of study participation would be the risks associated with venipuncture (injury to vessel or nerve, syncope).
Patients will not accrue benefits personally. However, participation will help others by identifying whether current vaccination strategies in this population are adequate.
