“…Our results are similar to a recent international study on outcomes after COVID-19 vaccination in patients with self-reported SLE [ 6 ]. Considering their US data for comparability, SLE patients in that study had a higher prevalence of flares (7/60; 11.6%) and AEs (66.7% after 1st vaccine; 76.9% after 2nd vaccine).…”

“…Another two studies investigated the safety profiles of COVID-19 vaccine specifically in patients with SLE [14,47]. Felten et al surveyed a group of patients with selfreported medically confirmed SLE (n=696) for the occurrence of side effects.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
