Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccination is vital for preventing infectious diseases and promoting public health. However, individuals with immune-mediated intestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease, encounter specific challenges regarding vaccine efficacy and safety. Their conditions involve immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, which can impact vaccine responses. While vaccination is generally recommended for these patients, understanding the factors affecting vaccine effectiveness and safety is essential. The complex interactions between their illnesses and immunosuppressive therapies complicate assessments of vaccine responses and raise concerns about potential adverse events.
This Special Issue aims to evaluate current evidence on the efficacy and safety of vaccines for patients with immune-mediated intestinal diseases. Topics will include immune mechanisms that affect vaccine responses, the impact of therapies on vaccine effectiveness, and existing vaccination recommendations for this group. By addressing these challenges and promoting an understanding of effective vaccination
strategies, this Special Issue aspires to contribute to evidence-based guidelines for patients with immune-mediated intestinal diseases. We invite submissions of original articles, reviews, and other contributions that enhance vaccination practices and ensure the health and safety of these individuals.
