Does accutane have the ability to weaken your immune system??? should i stop taking this drug during covid time because i'm scared that accutane will weaken my immune system and causing me to be super sick if i get covid?

We have lived with Covid-19 pandemic for 2 years but there is no report of harmful effect of using accutane during the pandemic and I have not read any study about the detrimental effect of accutane to the immune system.
