In this special episode on COVID-19, Prof. Jan Gutermuth (University of Brussels) leads a discussion with Prof. Johannes Ring (JEADV Editor-in-Chief) about vaccines and the risk for people with allergic skin diseases. They offer the latest advice on safely vaccinating patients who report allergies and outline how to identify patients who are at risk, who can and cannot be vaccinated, and any skin side-effects we should be aware of. This is an episode especially relevant for all healthcare professionals directly involved in COVID-19 vaccination.  Read the related articles here:   Risk of severe allergic reactions to COVID‐19 vaccines among patients with allergic skin diseases: https://www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jdv.17237 European Task Force on Atopic Dermatitis: position on vaccination of adult patients with atopic dermatitis against COVID‐19 (SARS‐CoV‐2) being treated with systemic medication and biologics: https://www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jdv.17167
