Go Beyond the Gut: Insights and Commentary for Appropriate Vaccination of the Immunosuppressed IBD Patient

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

In this clinical commentary, a panel of three faculty experts will discuss the importance of immunity assessments/titers and appropriate vaccinations for Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients on immunosuppressive therapies, ACG clinical practice guidelines, strategies for improving vaccination rates, and the administrative, financial, and communication related challenges surrounding vaccines and immunity assessments for IBD patients. Because the patient plays such a critical role in shared decision-making, this activity will also include an actual patient sharing her perspectives, experiences, and treatment goals.
