Researchers will compare humoral and cell-mediated immunity against herpes zoster in RA patients who are vaccinated by shingrix, and compare these immunity between RA patients with MTX discontinuation and MTX continuation groups. Participants will: Vaccinated with shingrix twice. MTX continuation group will keep taking MTX after shingrix vaccination, whereas MTX discontinuation group will stop MTX for 2 weeks after shingrix vaccination.
