Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to play a major role as a severe and potentially fatal airway infection, especially in vulnerable patient groups. In view of the thin data situation on the influence of treatment and response to vaccination, at the beginning of the corona pandemic it was a major challenge to predict the tolerability and effectiveness in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases under immunomodulation or immunosuppression. In the meantime, numerous studies have addressed the questions of response and tolerability, at least for the COVID-19 vaccination. Even in the first months of the vaccination campaign, a small study on a single center cohort could show that apart from patients with B‑cell depletion, all included patients showed a seroconversion after the first two vaccinations. This resulted in neither an increased occurrence of exacerbations of the underlying disease nor new autoimmune phenomena. Various studies have since then confirmed these data.
