The EMCOVID-19 study included patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who were treated with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) prior to the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccination. This multi-centre, prospective observational study was conducted at 20 centres in Spain from April to September 2020 to evaluate the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 over time in this cohort. Participants had a median age of 36 to 50 years and were mostly female.
