Abstract
- Abstract. Patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs) have high hospitalization and mortality rates when combined with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of defects in humoral and cellular immunity, known as immune dysfunction. COVID-19 vaccines effectively reduce the risk of severe illness and mortality caused by the virus. Several studies have confirmed the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine in patients with CLD, and the existing expert consensus recommends that patients with stable CLD be prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, clinical trials are ongoing to determine the optimal strategy for patients with CLD to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. In this study, we review the progress of research on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination in patients with CLD, aiming to provide better recommendations for the vaccination in this population.
