No significant signal of disproportionate reporting of ILD was observed for COVID-19 vaccines compared with all other vaccines. Moreover, when compared with the influenza vaccines that are known to cause ILD, no signal was observed. This study results might help decision-making on the subsequent COVID-19 vaccination strategy of ILD. Further large and prospective studies are required for more conclusive evidence.
