Hi @shaunaizadi! This is a wonderful question! There have not been any reports of people having adverse vaccine reactions to Botox and the Covid 19 vaccine.

Hi, thanks for your question. You should be fine to get your vaccination and Botox on the same day. There are typically no contraindications when it comes to Botox and vaccines. Please speak to your provider if you have any further concerns.

I am not aware of any interaction between any of the covid vaccines and Botox.  In my opinion, it would be fine to have your second Pfizer vaccine and Botox on the same day.

As of now there is no evidence that botox and the vaccine have any negative correlations. You can get your vaccine on the same day as botox and there shouldn't be any issues. If you are concerned and it will put your mind at ease, you can always wait a few more days, but you should be fine!

So far, there have not been any reports of people having adverse vaccine reactions related to neuromodulators like Botox. If you are concerned, you can of course schedule your treatment 14 days before or after your vaccines depending on your vaccination schedule.

I am not aware of any interactions with botox and the COVID vaccines, so you should be safe to do both. However, if you are concerned about a possible interaction, I recommend getting your COVID vaccine first and delaying your botox treatment.

You should be fine to get your Botox and vaccine on the same day.  For fillers it is different.  We recommend waiting two weeks after the vaccine for filler treatment.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector.  If you are not comfortable you can wait to have your Botox treatment until after you have completed your vaccinations.

Thank you for your question! It is safe to get botox and your vaccination done same day! If you are worried you can hold off on the botox. Hope this helps!

Although there has been some minimal reaction following filler and the Medrano vaccine, there have been no reported problems relating to any vaccine and Botox.  However, if you were going to delay either of the two, you need to get your priorities straight and delay the Botox.  Although you can delay the vaccine a week or two, it works better at the specified time.  Beside your also protecting yourself better by proceeding with it.
