Evidence is accumulating that COVID‐19 vaccines might induce or exacerbate autoimmune rheumatic diseases. The currently available COVID‐19 vaccines include mRNA and recombinant adenoviral vector vaccines, both encoding SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein production as the primary target for neutralizing antibodies.
