Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the body's immune response when vaccines are given alone versus when vaccines are given along with the study drug called ixekizumab. The vaccines protect against pneumonia and tetanus. This study will last about 6 weeks with follow-up at 12 weeks.
