Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients may be at a higher risk for developing infections due to underlying disease, malnutrition, surgery, or immunosuppressive therapy. Therefore, protecting this group against infections is of particular importance. Immunisation against vaccine-preventable diseases is strongly recommended. This article for the first time summarises data on immunogenicity and safety of vaccines in IBD children and provides an update on some important issues regarding immunisation in these group of children.
