COVID-19 vaccine should be recommended to patients with Parkinson’s disease, experts say Patients with Parkinson s disease (PD) and healthcare professionals caring for them have expressed concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine s efficacy and safety in the specific context of PD and its symptomatic treatment. In a commentary just published in the Journal of Parkinson s Disease, a set of experts addresses these concerns from an evidence-based perspective. Their conclusion is that COVID-19 vaccination with approved vaccines should be recommended to persons with PD, unless there is a specific contraindication. The arrival of these vaccines has created hope for people with PD, as this can help to mitigate their risk of becoming infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which can lead to serious, life-threatening disease, at least among those with more advanced PD, explains lead author Bastiaan R. Bloem, MD, PhD, Radboud University Nijmegen Medica
