Abstract

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) develop coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at similar rates as the general population, and there was initial concern regarding potential for severe illness.1-4 Vaccinations were authorized for emergency use in the United States in December 2020 and aim to halt the spread of COVID-19. However, there are concerns that people will be hesitant to receive the vaccine for a variety of reasons including insufficient data in certain populations including those with IBD. We surveyed patients with IBD to identify potential concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccination.
