Influenza vaccine uptake in juvenile idiopathic arthritis during the COVID-19 pandemic: a multi-centre cross-sectional study by PRES vaccination working party
Families of children with JIA reported an increasing flu vaccine uptake and a high intention for COVID-19 vaccine administration. Previous vaccination behavior was shown as a significant predictor of future behaviour. Strengthening health education may address fears and lead to better vaccine coverage against both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in children with JIA and other inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
