Should i delay vaccinations while on cosentyx therapy?



Based on the information provided, there is no clear recommendation to delay vaccinations while on Cosentyx therapy. Cosentyx, also known as secukinumab, is a biologic medication used to treat various conditions such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1].

According to the Cosentyx website, there is no evidence that Cosentyx increases the risk of COVID-19 or worsens the symptoms of COVID-19 [2]. However, the website does not provide specific guidance on vaccinations while on Cosentyx therapy.

The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) provides guidance on immunizations for individuals on immunosuppressive therapies, including biologics such as Cosentyx [3]. The guidance suggests that individuals on immunosuppressive therapies may have a reduced immune response to vaccines and that the timing of vaccination should be considered in relation to the immunosuppressive therapy. The guidance recommends consulting with a healthcare provider to determine the best time to receive a vaccine [3].

In conclusion, while there is no clear recommendation to delay vaccinations while on Cosentyx therapy, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best time to receive a vaccine, taking into account individual circumstances and medical history.
