What's the recommended wait time for live vaccines post cosentyx?

There isn’t a defined “wait time” after Cosentyx (secukinumab) for giving a live vaccine. Live vaccines are generally not given while a person is on secukinumab.

What this means in practice:
- Plan any needed live vaccines before starting Cosentyx if possible.
- If you’re already on Cosentyx and a live vaccine is urgently needed, talk with your rheumatologist or an infectious disease specialist. They may advise delaying Cosentyx or choosing an alternative plan, because there isn’t a standard post-treatment interval published.
- Inactivated (non-live) vaccines can often be given when you’re on Cosentyx, though the immune response may be reduced.

If you’d like, tell me your country and the exact vaccine you’re considering, and I can pull the latest guidance for you. And as always, check with your prescribing doctor for advice tailored to your situation.
