The boosted state was associated with a lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19-related hospitalization.

These findings suggest that patients with IBD, especially those who are immunosuppressed, should consider getting a second booster as per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations.
