Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Diagnosis of seropositive RA (rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-CCP antibody
positive) based on the 2010 ACR-EULAR criteria.

2. At least 6 months of treatment including anti-TNF agents, abatacept, rituximab (dose
received within the previous 6 months) and/or methotrexate.

3. Informed consent form signed and dated.

4. Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Vaccination against influenza in the 6 months preceding the trial vaccination.

2. Systemic hypersensitivity to eggs, chicken proteins, or any of the vaccine
components, or a history of a life-threatening reaction to TIV or to a vaccine
containing any of the same substances.

3. History of Guillain-Barré syndrome within six weeks of a previous influenza
vaccination.

4. Dementia or any other cognitive condition that could interfere with the trial
procedures.

5. Thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder contraindicating IM vaccination (according to
treating rheumatologist).

6. Current alcohol abuse or drug addiction.

7. Moderate or severe acute illness with or without fever. If this exists, vaccination
will be deferred until the individual has been medically stable and/or afebrile for
at least 24 hours.

8. Signs and symptoms of an acute infectious respiratory illness. If this exists,
vaccination will be deferred until the symptoms resolve.

9. Pregnant women (the rationale for excluding this group is not their lack of
indication for vaccination but the changes of maternal immune responses during
pregnancy)
