Core Tip	The gut microbiota is a biosystem spanning the entire length of the digestive tract and playing important roles in health and disease. It is much affected in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In return it has established a bi-directional interaction with the COVID-19 vaccines, enhancing or reducing vaccine efficacy. Conversely, COVID-19 vaccines also make substantial impact on the gut microbiota, reducing its overall population and biodiversity. By exploring and harnessing this bi-directional interaction we may hopefully break new grounds and work out new methods to fight this formidable pandemic.
