Hi Sease , thanks for getting in touch.

The Arthritis Action charity website has a Frequently Asked Questions page around the COVID-19 vaccine for people with arthritis:

The charity also recently held a webinar with Consultant Rheumatologist Dr Wendy Holden who discussed the vaccine for people living with arthritis, a recording of which can be found on the charity YouTube page:

Hope these help, let us know how you get on!
