Can you receive travel vaccinations after Botox?

Question

Can I get travel vaccination such as diphtheria, polio and tetanus (combined booster) typhoid. hepatitis A – including when combined with typhoid or hepatitis B. cholera. 6 days after having Botox for crows feet? Please I really need your help to know is it safe or not. Thank you

Yes, it should be fine to receive these vaccines after your Botox treatment. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. BOTOX® is made up of a purified protein that is naturally occurring in the body. Your BOTOX® injections should have no effect on your travel vaccinations and vice versa. Safe travels!

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

The botunlinum toxin in Botox is both minuscule and highly purified. Botox is also a local treatment, which means it only affects the muscles into which it is injected. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, there will be no interactions between the Botox and the vaccines you need to get for your travels abroad. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise with Botox to be sure you get the best results.

Hi there, and thanks for sharing your question. Yes, you should be fine to get travel vaccinations without worrying about adverse interactions with BOTOX®. If you have specific concerns, talk to your doctor before going ahead with the vaccinations, but there should be no reason why you can’t get them. Hope this helps.

Botox is a purified protein and does not have any interactions with travel vaccines or your ability to mount an immune response to vaccines,Safe Travels!

There should be no interactions between vaccinations and botox.  They work through different mechanisms of action.  Go get vaccinated!

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

There should be no interaction of any sort between the botox and the vaccinations. Neither will have any effect on the other

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

I personally do not believe that you should have any problems while receiving vaccinations after having had a Botox treatment. You should still consult with your treating physician who's providing you with all the vaccinations regarding this matter. Good luck from New York City
