4. Coordinate responsibilities for vaccination recommendations, monitoring, and administration among clinicians that care for patients with IBD

Estimated Time to Complete

Activity Overview
Patients with IBD are at an increased risk for infections, however, some of these infections are preventable by vaccination. While immunocompetent IBD patients can generally be vaccinated using standard immunization recommendations, there are special considerations for IBD patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy; this is especially important when treatment includes biological therapies. The use of immunosuppressive therapy will influence vaccine recommendations and preventive care counseling by gastroenterologists and the primary care team.
 
Using interactive case scenarios, Gary R. Lichtenstein, MD and Michael Cirigliano, MD, will explore vaccine-related issues that are relevant to patients with IBD being treated with immunosuppressive biological therapies.
