According to the study’s researchers, infliximab is not the only medication that can affect the vaccine’s efficacy. In fact, they believe that other TNF inhibitors, prescribed to reduce inflammation in the body and suppress the immune system, are also likely to affect the immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Just like Remicade, other common TNF inhibitors, including Humira (adalimumab), Enbrel (etanercept), Cimzia (certolizumab pegol), and Simponi (golimumab) could have the same effect on the vaccines.
According to ARY News, Humira and Enbrel are among the most common sold medications in the world these days. Moreover, for people who receive these medications, it’s important that they’re prioritized for in-time second vaccine doses, without any delays.
