No in-person President’s reception for #ACR20? No problem. ACR brought the planned Smithsonian reception to Dr. Ellen Gravallese with her own version of Portrait Gallery. (Credit to her husband Tim for the idea.) @ACRheum staff are awesome for making this surprise happen. https://t.co/mTNnLWKgQD

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
