Based on the information available, it is not explicitly contraindicated to administer live vaccines immediately after Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1]. However, the manufacturer recommends completing any necessary live vaccinations at least 4 weeks before initiating Cosentyx [1]. This recommendation is due to the potential impact of Cosentyx on the immune system, which could potentially affect the efficacy of live vaccines [1].

It is always important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice, as individual health circumstances can influence the safety and efficacy of specific medical interventions [2]. Healthcare providers follow guidelines established by professional organizations and regulatory agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to make informed decisions [3][4].

In summary, while live vaccines can theoretically be administered right after Cosentyx, it is recommended to complete any necessary live vaccinations at least 4 weeks before initiating Cosentyx treatment [1]. Consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
