There is currently no definitive research or studies available that directly investigate the impact of Cosentyx (secukinumab) on the efficacy of inactivated vaccines. Cosentyx is a biologic medication used to treat various autoimmune conditions such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1]. It works by inhibiting the interleukin-17A (IL-17A) protein, which is involved in the body's immune response [1].

Vaccines, particularly inactivated vaccines, work by exposing the immune system to a weakened or inactivated version of a pathogen, allowing the body to build an immune response and develop protection against future infections [2]. Since Cosentyx affects the immune system, it is plausible that there could be an interaction between the medication and the efficacy of inactivated vaccines. However, without specific research on this topic, it is not possible to make a conclusive statement.

It is important for patients taking Cosentyx or other immunosuppressive medications to consult with their healthcare providers before receiving any vaccinations [1]. Healthcare providers will consider the patient's specific circumstances, the type of vaccine, and the potential risks and benefits when making recommendations [2].

In summary, there is no direct evidence available regarding the interaction between Cosentyx and the efficacy of inactivated vaccines. Patients should consult their healthcare providers for personalized advice on vaccinations.
