Our RA patients are susceptible to a dangerous virus which runs rampant, but won't take the vaccine.
Why won't patients have their flu shot? @McGillMed 40% hesitant despite public funding. Multiple levels influence; if we don't address, our pts suffer!

“Society cannot function if it is every man for himself. By definition, civilization cannot survive that.” -John Barry from “The Great Influenza.” Vaccinate all your patients, & don’t forget to hold MTX for 2wks after the flu vaccine! #ACR20 @RheumNow @CCalabreseDO @LCalabreseDO https://t.co/IdQ4Zyhq69

Rheumies, why should we especially vaccinate our pts with the flu vaccine?
1. Our pts have a higher risk for influenza
2. Our pts have greater morbidity & prolonged viral shedding
3. Vaccination is protective both serologically & clinically

Fauci: Common endpoints, common parameters provide "bridge" between #COVID19 vaccine trials. "We are cautiously optimistic" for a vaccine "by the end of the calendar year" because of favorable animal studies, though distribution will be later #ACR20 @Rheumnow. https://t.co/vPLEYiGKam

A reminder or the fundamentals to curbing COVID19 per Dr. Anthony Fauci at #ACR20:
1. Everyone needs to wear a mask
2. Maintain 6 feet distance from others
3. Avoid crowds & congregations
4. Outdoor better than indoors
5. Wash your hands frequently
