Key aspects in vaccination against covid-19 in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract

Currently, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been one of the great challenges for health personnel and has become a greater challenge when we have patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); because of the pathophysiology of the disease and the treatments used, it can generate questions that are difficult to answer given the short time of scientific evidence that we have on vaccination for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions to get immunity in this pandemic; for this reason, we made a review with the key aspects about vaccination for infection by SARS-CoV-2 in patients with IBD according to the available evidence.
