We read with great interest the recent article by Ramdani and colleagues in The Journal of Rheumatology on a nationwide multicenter, retrospective study conducted in France describing the status of the occurrence of IgA vasculitis (IgAV) after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. 1 We support and appreciate the authors' work and agree with their conclusions that IgA vasculitis following COVID-19 vaccination is usually benign and that a fortuitous link cannot be ruled out and now requires a worldwide pharmacovigilance study, but there are some concerns about some of the details in the article.
