In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the humoral immunogenicity of the meningococcal B vaccine (MenB-4C) in pediatric patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), compared to age- and sex-matched non-immunosuppressed controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To assess the influence of treatment on the response to the MenB-4C vaccine in patients with ARDs; * To evaluate the impact of the MenB-4C vaccine on disease activity in patients with ARDs; * To evaluate the safety of the MenB-4C vaccine in pediatric patients with ARDs and controls. * To evaluate the association between physical activity levels and immunogenicity after vaccination. Participants will: Receive the MenB-4C vaccine (Bexsero©), administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle, in a 2-dose schedule (0.5 mL each), 1 month apart. All participants will have blood samples collected immediate
