: Two authors (MM and SL) are employees at the 17DD-YF vaccine manufacturer (Bio-Manguinhos, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz), and five authors work in other units of Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (ACC, VP, LA, ATC, and OM). Bias from competing interest was prevented by (1) collaboration of three clinical physicians (CF, AO, and LM) with experience in rheumatic diseases from Universidade de Brasília, (2) one official member from the Brazilian Health Ministry (CD) with experience in vaccine epidemiological vigilance and policies, (3) two independent professionals working as undergraduate students (LF and IR), and (4) two post-doc researchers (JC and KT) working in the field of infectious diseases. The FIOCRUZ extramural coworkers contributed with the critical overview of the study design, volunteers’ immunization and medical care, blood sample collection, blind sample handling and processing, data collection, statistical analysis, and data interpretation.The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
