Based on the available information, there is no specific mention of an interaction between Cosentyx (secukinumab) and the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. However, it's important to note that Cosentyx is a biologic medication used to treat several autoimmune conditions, and it works by suppressing the immune system [1].
The MMR vaccine, on the other hand, works by stimulating the immune system to produce a protective response against measles, mumps, and rubella [2].
Given that Cosentyx suppresses the immune system, it's possible that individuals taking this medication may have a reduced response to the MMR vaccine [3]. However, this does not necessarily mean that there is a specific interaction between the two.
It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before receiving any vaccinations while taking Cosentyx or any other immunosuppressive medication [4].
