Rheumatic diseases involve dysregulation of the immune system and can make a person more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Immunosuppressive drugs used in treatment also increase the risk of infection. Vaccination is an effective way to help prevent infectious diseases, so please consult your doctor and receive vaccinations at the appropriate time.2026-06-26
