Abstract

Given the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), a session was devoted at the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2022 annual meeting to discussing the current understanding of the risk of severe COVID-19 in patients with PsD. The effects of PsD and its treatment on prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with vaccinations, antiviral drugs, and monoclonal antibodies were discussed. The session concluded with a presentation on the perspectives of patient research partners about their experiences with COVID-19.
