A member asked:

How much does taking weekly humira (adalimumab) injections lower my immune system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not definitive: It lowers resistance, but unclear how much. Essential is avoiding infectious exposure. Avoid individuals who have had live vaccines - for 30 days after vaccination.
