An 82-year-old woman was diagnosed with still’s disease following an mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Onset after age 80 is really uncommon, making this an interesting study.
Now, it’s important to remember that these kinds of reactions are incredibly rare. Less than 30 patients have had this happen. Please still get your COVID-19 vaccines if you’re medically able to do so.
