The vaccine and your patients

Dr. Jami Kinnucan shared the CDC/ACIP at-risk phases and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation’s recent COVID-19 position statement to help consider what that means for GI patients.

The SECURE-IBD registry did not show that most patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at high risk, she points out.

Which patients qualify for phase one COVID-19 vaccination? Is there any group of your patients who you are recommending not get the vaccine?

Share your experience.
