The provided UK guideline excerpts do not specify a list of recommended vaccinations for patients with Crohn's disease who are receiving immunosuppressive therapy.
However, people with Crohn's disease may be at an increased risk of opportunistic infections due to underlying disease activity, malnutrition, long-term immunosuppressive drug treatment, or surgery 1. Consequently, advice on live vaccines is important for this patient group 1.
