    Hi . You are not alone with these concerns. For your protection, we cannot give medical advice over the internet. I can share with you this page from the American College of Rheumatology on COVID-19 Vaccination Clinical Guidance for those with RA: https://www.rheumatology.org/Portals/0/Files/COVID-19-Vaccine-Clinical-Guidance-Rheumatic-Diseases-Summary.pdf. You will notice that it has been periodically updated and the most recent is in August. In addition, this article is from one of our contributors describing her experience with the entire process: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/covid19-vaccination-process. I also want to share this Forum discussion from our site looking at the potential for flares related to the vaccine: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/stories/flare-covid. It is important to remember that every case is unique and to discuss your concerns from every aspect with your medical team. Wishing you the best and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing. Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
