Highlights Studies showed that the risk of developing Covid-19 is more worrying in people with immunocompromised conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). On the other hand, no definitive treatment has been identified for it and the best way to control it is wide spread vaccination. The results of this systematic scoping review revealed that patients with IBD can be advised that vaccination may have limited minor side effects, but it can protect these patients from the serious complications of Covid-19. Also, they should be also mentioned in booster doses.
