Abstract

Patients with inflammatory rheumatologic diseases are at increased risk for infectious complications, including SARS-CoV-2, which represent one of the leading causes of death in this population. This risk is due to both the numerous comorbidities of this patient's group and the immunosuppressive therapies they receive. Vaccination reduces the incidence, complications, and mortality from infections. For patients receiving immunosuppressors, exacerbation of underlying diseases is rarely observed after immunization and only live-attenuated vaccines are contraindicated. A vaccination history and updated vaccination plan should be part of the clinical follow-up of patients with inflammatory rheumatism.
