Does patient safety justify mandatory vaccinations?
Contrary to the widespread concern that a vaccination requirement would cause resistance, our data support that mandatory vaccinations (at least for HCWs who care for immunocompromised patients) might be widely accepted.
Our findings confirm the presence of AFAs in SSc sera and demonstrate, for the first time, that autoantibodies reacting with fibroblast surface molecules act as an extrinsic stimulus inducing fibroblast activation in vitro.
