COVID-19 Vaccines for Rheumatic Diseases

Research Clinic, Chicago + 1 more

Based on the experience with influenza, pneumococcal, and shingles vaccinations in rheumatic disease populations, it is clear that some disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and the immunomodulatory therapies used to treat immune-mediated inflammatory diseases have the capacity to blunt immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines. Several studies have suggested that patients with autoimmune conditions may be at increased risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes. There is an urgent need to better clarify the immunogenicity and safety of COVID-19 vaccines in people living with rheumatic disease who use immunomodulatory therapies. Boosters at annual or other frequency are available, and there is a need to understand whether these vaccines can be given concurrently with other routine vaccines.Show More
