Abstract
In conclusion, our survey suggests that
most patients with SSc have positive feelings towards COVID-19 vaccine, but uncertainties are present in a considerable
proportion of cases. These results highlight
the crucial role of the caring rheumatologists in addressing concerns and hesitancy
of individuals affected by rheumatic diseases with the purpose of promoting vaccine
literacy and enhancing vaccination rates.
