Dr. Peter Merkel, Director of the University of Pennsylvania Vasculitis Center and Co-Principal Investigator of the Vasculitis Patient-Powered Research Network, received his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine just before New Year’s Eve. Dr. Merkel says “I am excited that the vaccine will become increasingly available to everyone, especially patients with vasculitis and their families. I wish the whole world a happy and a much healthier New Year!”
