After receiving a vaccine, the recommended waiting period before starting Cosentyx (secukinumab) may vary depending on several factors. These factors include the type of vaccine received, your overall health, and the advice of your healthcare provider.

According to the Cosentyx prescribing information, no specific recommendations are provided regarding the timing of vaccinations in relation to Cosentyx administration [1]. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) generally recommends waiting 14 days after receiving a live vaccine before starting immunosuppressive therapy, such as Cosentyx [2]. This recommendation is based on the potential impact of immunosuppressive drugs on the immune response to live vaccines [2].

It is important to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice on the timing of vaccinations and Cosentyx administration. They will consider your specific medical situation and provide the most appropriate guidance.

In summary, while there is no specific recommendation for waiting after vaccines before starting Cosentyx, it is generally advisable to wait 14 days after receiving a live vaccine before starting immunosuppressive therapy [2]. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
