Lifelong symptoms but with recent severe widespread flare ups
I have been told by my hospital that I am being switched to the biologic Ilumetri. I believe this is a new treatment and would welcome hearing of any experiences other people have had-suspect there may not ,as yet, be many of you!

Hi Essexgran,
I just wanted to let you know that we do now have an information sheet for Ilumetri (Tildrakizumab) if it would be helpful. You can find it here: https://www.psoriasis-association.org.uk/media/InformationSheets/Ilumetri_Tildrakizumab_.pdf
Best Wishes,

Lifelong symptoms but with recent severe widespread flare ups
I am on 12 weekly injections of ilumetri. At the outset of the Covid outbreak I contacted my specialist nurse and she advised me to continue with the treatment. She is very enthusiastic .
However, I wonder if there are any sources of information regarding staying on the ilumetri and being able to have any future vaccine against Covid 19. My understanding ( which may be wrong) is that possible vaccines like the Oxford one are live and so not available to me. The only one I have read about that is using "dead" bacteria is a French on that is way behind time wise. Also would like to know the half life of ilumetri. Does anyone have information on possible vaccines? Any advice would be great!
