#Psoriasis patients born after 1957 who were vaxed before 1968 may need to get #MMR vaccine to protect against #measles. If they're on a #biologic for #psoriasis NPF recommends to hold it for 2-3 half lives prior to use of a LIVE vaccine and restart 2-4 weeks post #vaccine

Pubs of @fda.gov #FAERS data have exploded since the making it public in 2018. The nature of spontaneous reports is such that these analyses should not be interpreted as causal & generally are not useful for patients & clinicians. Details at: www.medcentral.com/dermatology/...
