Based on the available information, there is no inherent risk or safety concern associated with getting vaccinated while on Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1][2][3]. However, as with any medication, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before getting vaccinated to ensure that it is safe for an individual's specific medical situation [3].
According to the drug's official website, there are no specific recommendations or warnings against getting vaccinated while on Cosentyx [1]. Similarly, the drug's manufacturer, Novartis, states on its website that there is no evidence to suggest that Cosentyx affects the immune response to vaccines [2].
Furthermore, Drugs.com, a reputable drug information website, states that there are no interactions between Cosentyx and vaccines, including the flu shot [3]. However, it is important to note that the immune response to live vaccines may be diminished in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, such as Cosentyx [3].
Therefore, while it is generally safe to get vaccinated while on Cosentyx, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action based on an individual's specific medical situation.
