Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to initial concerns for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease treated with immunosuppressive drugs, as they could be theoretically exposed to a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or severe forms of COVID-19.

Although initial studies have not shown an increased risk of developing SARS-CoV-2 disease related to immunosuppressive therapy, robust data are not yet available to allow for risk stratification. In this regard, the availability of vaccines represents a cornerstone in the management of the pandemic. Unfortunately, patients on immunosuppressive drugs have largely been excluded from the trials of COVID-19 vaccines, creating potential concerns regarding the validity of their efficacy for IBD patients treated with immunosuppressive agents.
