On Wednesday, December 9th, 2020, the Spondylitis Association of America hosted a dynamic Facebook Live discussion, “COVID-19 Vaccines & Spondyloarthritis.” This information-packed live conversation featured two special guests – Dr. James Rosenbaum, rheumatologist, and Dr. Kevin Winthrop, infectious disease epidemiologist – answering our community’s most pressing questions about the upcoming COVID-19 vaccines and key impacts and considerations for the spondyloarthritis (SpA) community.
You can now watch the recorded video of this live broadcast on SAA’s YouTube channel. Watch the video now to learn what medical experts have to say about crucial questions, including: Will the vaccine be safe for people with SpA? Does the vaccine interact with biologic medications? Will those with SpA be considered high-risk in terms of vaccine roll-out? Watch below to hear the entire discussion!
