“…Compared to 2018 (i.e., before the COVID-19 pandemic), Harrison et al (33) reported lower vaccination rates against influenza in RMDs patients. The increased acceptance of vaccination, in general, might be due to the increased information, public discussion and awareness of the need for vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic as already observed by Starrostzik (34).…”

ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical care and vaccination acceptance of vasculitis patients in Germany.MethodsA web-based national survey was developed by rheumatology centers and vasculitis patient advocacy groups. The survey was distributed nationwide by mail and flyers and could be accessed via a QR-code or weblink from December 2021 to April 2022. Descriptive statistics [mean, median, standard derivation (SD), 25%, 75% quantile] were calculated. 95% confidence intervals were presented for responses that were directly related to the impact of COVID-19 on parameters associated with vasculitis patient care.ResultsThe online survey was completed by 117 patients with small and large vessel vasculitis [granulomatosis with polyangiitis (n = 69), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (n = 16), microscopic polyangiitis (n = 12), giant cell arteritis (n = 17) and Takayasu's arteritis (n = 3)]. Prescheduled rheumatological appointments had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 12.6% of the respondents [95% confidence interval (CI), 7.3–20.0%); in 9% (95% CI, 4.5–15.6%)] appointments had been replaced by digital services. Therapeutic regimens were changed (shifted, reduced, or discontinued) due to the pandemic in 15.5% (95% CI 9.5–22.2%). Vaccination coverages were generally high compared to patients with other rheumatic diseases and the general population. Highest vaccination coverage was observed against COVID-19 (98.1% 95% CI 93.9–99.6%).ConclusionVasculitis patients experienced changes in medical care during COVID-19 pandemic such as cancelation of prescheduled rheumatology appointments and modifications in therapeutic regimens. The overall acceptance rate for vaccination was comparatively high, particularly for vaccination against COVID-19.

Shingles are triggered by the reactivation of an infection with the varicella zoster virus (VZV) and are characterized by specific vesicular skin lesions. Mostly, elderly patients are affected. Depending on the affected dermatome, some serious complications can be observed. The introduction of a vaccine against shingles in Germany offers a great potential for reducing the frequency and severity of this disease. There are both a live vaccine, which is no longer recommended, and an inactivated vaccine, which, however, is still not sufficiently recommended to the authorized patient groups and is also only available to a limited extent due to delivery bottlenecks. HZ neuralgia is a serious complication of the disease that requires rapid and effective therapy and should be handed over to experienced pain therapists rather too early than too late. Unfortunately, in everyday clinical practice only a few people are familiar with VZV vasculopathy, which is associated with a significantly increased risk of cerebral insults.
