Based on the information available, there is no specific guidance from the manufacturer of Cosentyx (secukinumab) regarding the waiting period between vaccination and starting the medication. The Cosentyx prescribing information does not mention vaccination as a consideration for initiating treatment [1]. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends administering vaccines at least two weeks before starting immunosuppressive therapy, if possible [2].
It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice. They can provide guidance based on individual health circumstances and the most recent medical research.
