What's the ideal gap between cosentyx and vaccines?

For Cosentyx (secukinumab), the usual practical guidance is:

• Inactivated (non-live) vaccines: you can generally get them without needing to wait for a specific “gap.”
• Live vaccines: it’s recommended to avoid live vaccines while you’re on Cosentyx, or to schedule them before starting therapy. If a live vaccine is needed, clinicians typically prefer a waiting period of about at least 4 weeks before starting Cosentyx (and similarly waiting several weeks after stopping before giving a live vaccine), because the medication can affect immune response and increase risk.

So the “ideal gap” depends on which vaccine type you mean.

If you tell me:

1. Which vaccine (e.g., flu shot, COVID, shingles, MMR, etc.), and
2. Whether you’re currently taking Cosentyx (and your dosing schedule),
   I can give a more specific answer for that exact vaccine.
