Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic, at this stage, has almost resulted in 4 million deaths globally.
A growing body evidence is emerging on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of COVID-19. There has been a considerable amount of concern amongst physicians and scientists about patients with underlying autoimmune inflammatory diseases in relation to whether this particular patient group is more susceptible to becoming infected with COVID-19; whether they have more severe COVID-19-related disease morbidity and mortality; whether the currently available vaccinations against COVID-19 are efficient.
This Special Issue will focus on COVID-19 vaccines in the context of patients with autoimmune inflammatory diseases in a broad context.
