Arthritis as an adverse event of special interest post COVID-19 vaccine implementation

Abstract

COVID-19 vaccines are currently in development or being rolled out as a public health response to manage the pandemic. While vaccines selected for mass public immunization programs would have demonstrated safety and efficacy in Phase 3 trials, vaccine safety monitoring including reporting of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) and investigation of reported cases are still required for safety surveillance. Monitoring of AEFI post COVID-19 vaccination is quite relevant to clinicians.
