Safety of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with psoriasis undergoing therapy with anti-interleukin agents.

Introduction: There is very limited kn3e safety of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with psoriasis who are being treated with biological agents. We present our experience in 369 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis undergoing therapy with anti-IL agents who were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.Areas covered: None of the 369 patients referred to any serious adverse event related to vaccination against COVID-19, while about one-third reported mild adverse events similar to those seen in the general population that were resolved within 48 hours. No patient discontinued biological therapy to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.Expert opinion: Our observations provide evidence that COVID-19 vaccines can be considered safe in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who are receiving anti-IL therapy.
