Drug Interaction	Drug Names
Non-Live or Non-Replicating Vaccines/Teplizumab SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Teplizumab may cause lymphopenia and alter the immune system's response to vaccines.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Administration of a non-live vaccine within the 2 weeks prior to, during, or for 6 weeks following teplizumab therapy may result in decreased effectiveness of the vaccine.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Ideally, administer vaccines prior to initiating teplizumab therapy. The manufacturer of teplizumab states that non-live vaccines (e.g., inactivated or mRNA vaccines) are not recommended within the 2 weeks prior to, during, or for 6 weeks after stopping teplizumab therapy.(1) The immune response to non-live vaccines should be monitored in patients who receive teplizumab within these time frames. The Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) states that non-live vaccines should be used with caution in patients who are severely immunosuppressed. Patients who are vaccinated within the 14 days prior to initiating immunosuppressive therapy should be considered unvaccinated and should be revaccinated at least 3 months after immunosuppressive therapy is discontinued when immune competence is restored.(2) For COVID-19 vaccines, the CDC advises planning for vaccination at least 2 weeks before starting or resuming immunosuppressive therapy. Patients should be offered and given a COVID-19 vaccine even if the use and timing of immunosuppressive agents cannot be adjusted. The CDC states that an age-appropriate mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is preferred over the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine for the primary and booster doses for immunocompromised patients. All immunocompromised patients over 5 years of age should receive at least 1 booster dose if eligible. See the CDC's Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines for age- and product-specific recommendations.(3) DISCUSSION: Vaccinations may be less effective if administered within 2 weeks before, during, and for 6 weeks following teplizumab therapy.(1)	TZIELD

Systemic Corticosteroids; Corticotropin/Non-Live or Non-Replicating Vaccines SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Corticosteroids and corticotropin suppress the immune system and may alter the immune system's response to vaccines.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Vaccines administered during or within 2 weeks prior to therapy with corticosteroids or corticotropin may result in decreased effectiveness of the vaccine.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients receiving immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids or corticotropin for equal to or greater than 14 consecutive days.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) states that non-live vaccines should be used with caution in patients who are severely immunosuppressed, including those who are receiving or have received high-dose, systemic steroids for greater than or equal to 14 consecutive days. When initiating immunosuppressives doses of corticosteroids, wait 2 weeks after a non-live vaccines is administered. However, if patients require therapy for chronic inflammatory conditions, do not delay therapy due to past vaccines.(1) The immune response to non-live vaccines should be monitored in patients receiving corticosteroids. Vaccinations given during corticosteroid therapy may need to be repeated.(1) Patients who are vaccinated within the 14 days prior to initiating immunosuppressive therapy should be considered unvaccinated and should be revaccinated at least 3 months after immunosuppressive therapy is discontinued when immune competence is restored.(1) DISCUSSION: Vaccinations given during and within 2 weeks prior to corticosteroid therapy may be less effective. However they are considered safe to administer.(1) Many clinicians consider a dose equivalent to either 2 mg/kg of body weight or a total of 20 mg/day of prednisone as sufficiently immunosuppressive to raise safety concerns about live-virus vaccines.(1) Immunization procedures may be undertaken in patients receiving corticosteroids when the therapy is short term (less than 2 weeks); low to moderate dose; long-term, alternate-day treatment with short-acting preparations; maintenance physiologic doses (replacement therapy); or administered topically (skin or eyes), by aerosol, or by intra-articular, bursal, or tendon injection.(1)	ACTHAR, ACTHAR SELFJECT, ADRENOCORTICOTROPHIC HORMONE, ALDOSTERONE, ALKINDI SPRINKLE, ANUCORT-HC, ANUSOL-HC, BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE, BETA 1, BETALOAN SUIK, BETAMETHASONE ACETATE MICRO, BETAMETHASONE ACETATE-SOD PHOS, BETAMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE, BETAMETHASONE SOD PHOS-ACETATE, BETAMETHASONE SOD PHOS-WATER, BETAMETHASONE SODIUM PHOSPHATE, BETAMETHASONE VALERATE, BSP 0820, BUDESONIDE, BUDESONIDE DR, BUDESONIDE EC, BUDESONIDE ER, BUDESONIDE MICRONIZED, BUPIVACAINE-DEXAMETH-EPINEPHRN, CELESTONE, CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE MICRO, CORTEF, CORTENEMA, CORTICOTROPHIN, CORTIFOAM, CORTISONE ACETATE, CORTROPHIN, DEFLAZACORT, DEPO-MEDROL, DESONIDE MICRONIZED, DESOXIMETASONE, DESOXYCORTICOSTERONE ACETATE, DEXABLISS, DEXAMETHASONE, DEXAMETHASONE ACETATE, DEXAMETHASONE ACETATE MICRO, DEXAMETHASONE INTENSOL, DEXAMETHASONE ISONICOTINATE, DEXAMETHASONE MICRONIZED, DEXAMETHASONE SOD PHOS-WATER, DEXAMETHASONE SODIUM PHOSPHATE, DEXAMETHASONE-0.9% NACL, DMT SUIK, DOUBLEDEX, EMFLAZA, EOHILIA, FLUDROCORTISONE ACETATE, FLUNISOLIDE, FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE, FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE MICRO, FLUOCINONIDE MICRONIZED, FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE, FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE MICRO, HEMADY, HEMMOREX-HC, HEXATRIONE, HYDROCORTISONE, HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE, HYDROCORTISONE SOD SUCCINATE, KENALOG-10, KENALOG-40, KENALOG-80, LIDOCIDEX-I, MAS CARE-PAK, MEDROL, MEDROLOAN II SUIK, MEDROLOAN SUIK, METHYLPREDNISOLONE, METHYLPREDNISOLONE AC MICRO, METHYLPREDNISOLONE ACETATE, METHYLPREDNISOLONE SODIUM SUCC, MILLIPRED, MILLIPRED DP, MOMETASONE FUROATE, ORAPRED ODT, ORTIKOS, PEDIAPRED, PREDNISOLONE, PREDNISOLONE ACETATE MICRONIZE, PREDNISOLONE MICRONIZED, PREDNISOLONE SODIUM PHOS ODT, PREDNISOLONE SODIUM PHOSPHATE, PREDNISONE, PREDNISONE INTENSOL, PREDNISONE MICRONIZED, PRO-C-DURE 5, PRO-C-DURE 6, PROCTOCORT, RAYOS, SOLU-CORTEF, SOLU-MEDROL, TAPERDEX, TARPEYO, TRIAMCINOLONE, TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE, TRIAMCINOLONE DIACETATE, TRIAMCINOLONE DIACETATE MICRO, TRILOAN II SUIK, TRILOAN SUIK, UCERIS, VERIPRED 20, ZCORT

Data are not available regarding use of typhoid vaccine live oral Ty21a or typhoid Vi polysaccharide vaccine in pregnant women. Animal reproduction studies have not been performed with either vaccine, and it is not known whether the vaccines can cause fetal harm or affect reproduction capacity when administered to pregnant women. The manufacturer of typhoid vaccine live oral Ty21a states that the vaccine should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed.

ACIP states that live vaccines generally are contraindicated during pregnancy. Typhoid Vi polysaccharide vaccine should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed. The manufacturer suggests that delaying vaccination until the second or third trimester is a reasonable precaution to minimize the possibility of teratogenicity.

Data are not available regarding use of typhoid vaccine live oral Ty21a or typhoid Vi polysaccharide vaccine in nursing women. It is not known whether typhoid vaccine live oral Ty21a is distributed into milk. ACIP states that, although live vaccines do multiply in the woman's body, most have not been shown to distribute into milk.

It is not known whether typhoid Vi polysaccharide vaccine is distributed into milk. The manufacturer recommends that the vaccine be used with caution in nursing women. Although specific data are not available, ACIP states that breast-feeding generally is not a contraindication to administration of inactivated vaccines since inactivated organisms in the vaccines do not multiply within the body and such vaccines appear to pose no special problems for the woman or her nursing infant.

No enhanced Geriatric Use information available for this drug.
