Summary

This trial aims to find out if a new behavioral intervention in rheumatology clinics can help more people get the latest COVID-19 vaccine.

What is being tested?
The study tests a new approach using brochures and videos about COVID-19 vaccination and oral health, plus patient narratives, to see if they encourage AIRD patients in clinics to get vaccinated.
What are the potential side effects?
