The Hong Kong Society of Rheumatology (HKSR) published a set of consensus statements for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in adult patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs). This statement serves as a guide to local rheumatologists and other specialists, nurses, healthcare professionals and the public regarding the use of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with ARDs. ARD is a group of chronic medical illness characterized by systemic inflammation, in which a dysregulated immune system causes damage or dysfunction to connective tissues and leads to various treatment-related complications and comorbidities. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, patients with pre-existing chronic health conditions are more prone to serious illness and mortality from the infection, arousing concerns among patients with ARDs regarding their suitability for the COVID-19 vaccination.
