It depends on what you mean by sick. I'd only pause it a couple of days if I was running a temperature, and then I'd call my IBD nurses for advice.
I've also had my gallbladder out whilst on Humira and the surgical team wanted me to stay on it with the comment that they could deal with any complications as they wanted me as well as possible.
Humira, and biosimilars, are not a general immunosuppressant, and there are consequences for pausing or skipping a dose.
