Summary

This study tested whether giving a stronger or extra dose of the pneumonia vaccine could improve protection for people with ANCA vasculitis who take rituximab. 96 adults received either the standard vaccine schedule or a boosted version. The goal was to see if the stronger approach triggered a better immune response without causing more side effects.
