Table 1 Relevant adverse event rates in patients with immune-mediated diseases and controls after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Table showing percentages of relevant adverse events (rAEs; defined as any systemic AE higher than grade 1 or any systemic AE of grade 1 lasting more than 2 days), systemic AEs at day 7 following vaccination and local AEs higher than grade 1. Percentages are shown with their 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and separately for patients and controls, first, second and third vaccination and individuals with or without a preceding SARS-CoV-2 infection
