Summary
This trial will help to better understand the immunogenicity and safety of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in people living with rheumatic disease who use immunomodulatory therapies.
Who is the study for?
Adults in the US needing a COVID-19 booster, with or without active rheumatic disease. Those with rheumatic disease must be on stable doses of specific medications. People not eligible include those currently infected with SARS-CoV-2, severe vaccine allergies, prior adenoviral COVID-19 vaccination, HIV/AIDS, current cancer treatment, recent other vaccines, and significant illnesses reducing life expectancy.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if people with rheumatic diseases can safely receive a COVID-19 booster alongside Hepatitis A and Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus vaccines. It aims to understand how these vaccines interact and whether immune responses are affected by certain rheumatic disease treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to vaccinations such as soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue or allergic reactions. Specific risks related to combining these vaccines will also be monitored.

Individuals with other chronic conditions and not active rheumatic disease (defined as being treated), who are eligible to receive their tdap booster and hepA vaccines, and receiving a COVID-19 booster vaccination.
This arm will receive co-administration of tdap booster vaccination.
Group IV: Arm 1 (control group, sequential administration)Active Control2 Interventions
Individuals with other chronic conditions and not active rheumatic disease (defined as being treated), who are eligible to receive their tdap booster and hepA vaccines, and receiving a COVID-19 booster vaccination.
