Is it okay to get Botox and the COVID vaccine a month later?

Hi @lisalex03! Hi there. This is a great question! It is safe to get your Botox and then your Covid vaccine a month later.

You should not experience significant harm when receiving BOTOX after being vaccinated against COVID-19.

Hello,
And thank you for your question.
Currently there is no evidence to demonstrate that it is note safe to receive Botox injections and Covid vaccine at the same time. I would just make sure that your provider/injector knows about it as well.
I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Thank you for your question. Currently, there is no official statement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that warns against the use of Botox® after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Most experts agree that Botox® injections are generally safe when administered more than 2 weeks before or after vaccination. However, it would be best to discuss the timing of your Botox® injections with your board-certified plastic surgeon, as surgeon preference may vary.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, it's fine to get Botox and your Covid vaccine a month later. There are typically no contraindications when it comes to Botox and vaccines. Please speak to your doctor or provider if you have any further questions or concerns.
