The World Health Organization has declared “with great hope” an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency. The vaccination drive that started in December 2020 played a crucial role in controlling the pandemic. However, the pace at which COVID-19 vaccines were developed and deployed for general population use led to vaccine hesitancy, largely owing to concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. Radiology has been instrumental in demonstrating the extent of pulmonary involvement and identification of the complications of COVID-19, and the same holds true for vaccine-related complications. This review summarizes the existing body of radiological literature regarding the efficacy, adverse events, and imaging pitfalls that accompany the global rollout of various COVID-19 vaccines.

“…We report two examples: Terracina et al reported a case of a 55-year-old man developing RA flares 12 h after the second dose [ 54 ]; Watanabe et al reported a new onset of RA in a 53-year-old male only four weeks after administration of the vaccine [ 55 ]. Again, regarding RA, there have been other reports of flares, although they are considered rare events [ 56 ]. There was a study called VACOLUP which included 696 participants and which explored flares in SLE.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a challenge for the whole world since the beginning of 2020, and COVID-19 vaccines were considered crucial for disease eradication. Instead of producing classic vaccines, some companies pointed to develop products that mainly function by inducing, into the host, the production of the antigenic protein of SARS-CoV-2 called Spike, injecting an instruction based on RNA or a DNA sequence. Here, we aim to give an overview of the safety profile and the actual known adverse effects of these products in relationship with their mechanism of action. We discuss the use and safety of these products in at-risk people, especially those with autoimmune diseases or with previously reported myocarditis, but also in the general population. We debate the real necessity of administering these products with unclear long-term effects to at-risk people with autoimmune conditions, as well as to healthy people, at the time of omicron variants. This, considering the existence of therapeutic interventions, much more clearly assessed at present compared to the past, and the relatively lower aggressive nature of the new viral variants.

“…For certain individuals, imaging was considered to rule out structural anomalies or trauma and to provide a more precise pathological diagnosis. The majority of arthritis patients were treated with oral and intraarticular corticosteroids, which led to clinical remission at all follow-up sessions [63].…”

The majority of documented cases of arthritis occurred between 2 and 4 weeks following the discovery of COVID positive. These cases mostly involved the minor joints of the hands. Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, septic arthritis, and post-covid flares of preexisting inflammatory arthritis are all examples of post-Covid-19 arthritis. Patients with COVID-19 vaccination-related new-onset arthritis, arthralgias, joint disease flare-up, and bursitis often experience joint swelling, discomfort, stiffness, and possibly restricted range of motion. Molecular mimicry, the generation of specific autoantibodies, and the involvement of certain vaccine adjuvants are the primary processes by which the COVID-19 vaccine causes autoimmune. The purpose of this paper was to provide a summary and clarify recent developments in our understanding of arthritis after COVID-19.
