“When we will have a vaccine. The answer is not so simple. Safety [of vaccines] is an important component of making a decision to move forward.”- Dr. Eric Rubin at #ACR20. We want a vaccine that is both SAFE and EFFECTIVE! @RheumNow

Dr. L Calabrese excellent review of irAEs and a proposed personalized algorithm for mgmt of irAE #ACR20 @LCalabreseDO @rheumnow He believes there should be more studies combining TNFi or IL-6 with CPI https://t.co/GbvgXtNJnI

“Immunology is the cornerstone of medicine and we are the experts.” #ACR20 president, Dr. Ellen Gravallese @RheumNow

JAKs are no longer new, Winthrop et al presents 8.4 year BARI data in Abst#0202 at #ACR20. VTE risk stable over time, again shows reason to vaccinate patients for zoster before starting. @RheumNow https://t.co/OSIvHl2f7Y

How would you change csDMARDS and bDMARDS a few days before vaccination - if/when #COVID19 KILLED vaccine comes in (Assuming live vaccine would need strict medication management.) #ACR20 @RheumNow

Vaccinate your pts against pneumococcal- it works! 595 vaccinated pts with RA & SpA vs 2379 nonvaccinated followed to 10 yrs showed 50% less pneumonia if vaccinated even though those pts had more infections prior. Limitation not RCT & not vaccine I use @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/SySEL19Gcn

Delighted to be reporting for @RheumNow at #ACR20! Here, I review the last year in #infection in #rheumaticdiseases (it’s been a busy one!) and highlight just a few of the abstracts on infections (incl #COVID19), #vaccination and #immunogenicity. Enjoy! https://t.co/x1pzyOICAF
