An update on immunisation in rheumatoid arthritis: spotlight on COVID-19 vaccination

Professor Ernest Choy is joined by Dr James Galloway and Dr Andra Negoescu to discuss the importance of immunisation in patients with RA, with a focus on COVID-19 vaccination. Together they examine the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccination in RA patients and review the latest ACR and EULAR guidance on the use of the COVID-19 vaccine. Concluding the webinar is a 25-minute panel discussion where the faculty members share their experience on how to support patients through the vaccination process.

Inflammation Xchange is a medical education programme dedicated to UK rheumatologists that strives to optimise RA services to deliver the best possible patient care through sharing best practice and discussing complex cases within the RA treatment landscape.
