Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are recommended for all patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).1 Patients with IBD historically have had low vaccine uptake relative to the general population.2 However, a recent survey suggested a rate higher than that of the general population with regard to COVID-19 vaccine intent among the IBD population. Their study was limited being that 96% of the patients surveyed identified as White, and 88% had attained a bachelor's degree or higher level of education.3 Therefore, these findings may not be representative of the IBD population as a whole. Previous studies have indeed identified disparities in influenza vaccine uptake within the IBD population.4,5.
