Is it safe to get Botox 3 days after getting the flu shot for 65+?

There should be no interaction between the flu shot and Botox. Double-check with your injector to make sure you have no other contraindication, though. Best wishes,Thomas Walker, MD, FACS

Yes, I see no reason not to proceed with Botox after getting the flu vaccine. I think three days should be a sufficient time between the two, if you feel well.

Hi, Yes, it is safe to get Botox 3 days after getting the flu shot for 65+ year. I would not anticipate any interaction between the two. Thank you for your question!

Yes, it should be fine to get Botox three days after the flu shot. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Hope this helps.

There should be no problem with getting Botox three days after getting the flu shot.  There should be no interaction between the two.All the best,

There should be no interaction between Botox and a flu shot, so in my opinion, it would be fine to have a Botox injection 3 days after getting the flu shot.  

Thank you for your question! There is no contraindication for botox and the flu shot.  However, as a rule of thumb.  I've asked my patients to wait 2 weeks after the flu shot to get any procedures.  Best of luck! 

Absolutely,  there is no drug interaction between the two medications.  I always recommend seeing someone that has experience with Botox to help ensure you get the result you are hoping for.

Yes, it should be fine to get Botox 3 days after the getting the flu shot even for someone over 65.  If the injected properly, Botox will bind at the injection site and not affect or spread to your immune system.  Just make sure you are feeling good and healthy for your injection.

Why do this? You could be sick from the flu shot.  Many are- I was for 24 hours. Give yourself a week to 5 days, and then get the Botox.  Your body mounts a response to the Botox molecule, and you don't need to stress your immune system if you are over 60. Botox is not an emergency - EVER.
