Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis, vasculopathy, and autoimmunity. There are multiple complications inherent to SSc and its management. One of these complications is increased infection risk, which can lead to decreased quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. Patients with SSc have lower vaccination rates and decreased vaccine seroconversion secondary to immunosuppressive medications compared with the general population. The purpose of this review is to provide clinicians with an approach to vaccinations in SSc.

Abstract
Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has caused many complications, the invention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines has also brought about several adverse events, from common side effects to unexpected and rare ones. Common vaccine-related adverse reactions manifest locally or systematically following any vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccines. Specific side effects, known as adverse events of particular interest (AESI), are unusual and need more evaluation. Here, we discuss some of the most critical rare adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines.
