I Am Scheduled to Have Botox on Monday. Is It Ok to Have a Flu Shot on Tuesday?

Although there is no absolute contraindication to having the flu shot and botox injections within a day of each other, there is a slight possibility of feeling flu-like symptoms from the botox treatment and if they occur the day after, and you have the flu shot that day, you wouldn't know which is causing your sympoms.

It should be okay to get your flu shot with Botox; there aren't any known contraindications at this point.

  I don't think there is any science to back any answer to your question.  Since my consent says that botox may be associated with flu like symptoms, I would prefer to separate the two.  Although I agree that there is no interaction between them, this would be my preference.

The short answer to your question is that you can get botox the same sitting as a flu shot vaccine. In fact, we have had our employees get botox and flu shot on the same occasion. There are no interactions between the medications.

Thank you for your question! There are no adverse interactions I am aware of between Botox and the flu shot.  However, if you have any additional questions you can visit the CDC's site. Best of luck!
