Dr. Rubin, as always, so grateful for your wisdom and insight. Dr. Kinnucan, so good to see your face again. Such fondness for you! So appreciative that you both took the time to answer these important question for your IBD patients. I will certainly be sharing this video to others. Thank you so much!!

I took the shot and I couldn’t move for over a week. It messes with my crohns and now they are saying I have another autoimmune.

My father developed IBD after 4th dose of COVID vaccine.

Thanks for the video. Dr. Kinnucan treated me at UM when I went in for a massive flare-up. Loved her.

10 years without a flare. Got my second Moderna jab last week, and started having flare symptoms within 72 hours. Coincidence? Possibly. Correlation? Seems so. Causation? Maybe.

Thank you so much Dr. Rubin, and the 2doctors that participated in this podcast. Iam a patient of Dr. Rubin, and this information is so needed, and very helpful. I have crohn's and celiac disease, and I decided not to take the vaccination because their was not enough info pertaining to the vaccine in regards to crohn's disease and Ibd. The information that was received is very helpful. I feel much comfortable now with taking the vaccine. Thank You.

I may have missed this but why/how would the vaccine not be as efficient and or work as well with IBD? Also am I right in thinking that with my UC causing my immune system to basically be working at 100% all the time would I even have symptoms if I had covid 19? I've had UC for 10 years now. I can count on one hand how many times I've been I'll with colds ect. Before I was diagnosed i was I'll more than the average person with colds/flu.

Thanks for this video! I'm an IBD patient, and I just received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today. I spoke with my gastro NP yesterday about the vaccine's safety and efficacy, and she gave me the go signal (she referred to this webinar).

I have been in remission for over 20 years now, after a hard fought battle for 6 years back then. Thank GOD for 6MP. It saved me almost immediately! Now that the CDC is opening up for comorbidity population, I believe this includes IBD Crohn's & colitis. Is there any word on if we will be made to prove we are in this category, such as a doctor's note? I haven't seen a GI in 20 years and although I have crohn's in remarkable remission, like I feel cured, I still have it. How would I prove that I can be included in this group approved for the vaccine? Thank you!
