Use With Non-Janssen COVID-19 Vaccines

  • Please refer to your healthcare provider to discuss the use of STELARA with non-Janssen COVID-19 vaccines.

Before you receive STELARA, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you have recently received or are scheduled to receive an immunization (vaccine). People who take STELARA should not receive live vaccines. Tell your doctor if anyone in your house needs a live vaccine. The viruses used in some types of live vaccines can spread to people with a weakened immune system and can cause serious problems.1
