Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) increasingly benefit from improved health due to new therapeutic regimens allowing increasing numbers of such patients to travel overseas. This study aims to assess the proportion of IMID travelers seeking advice at the Travel Clinic of the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and to determine whether demographics, travel, and vaccination patterns differ between IMID- and non-IMID travelers.
