- Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatological condition in children, and treatment with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) is effective but can increase infection risk, making vaccinations essential.

- Results showed that most patients achieved protective antibody levels after vaccination, with factors like vaccination timing and lymphocyte count potentially affecting their immune response.
