Is it safe to get Botulinum Toxin and the COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes. There are no known cases concerning Botulinum Toxin and COVID-19 vaccine reactions. Healthcare providers strongly recommend that you get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you’re eligible, whether or not you’ve had Botox.

There’ve been isolated cases of swelling in people with dermal fillers who received the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. First, remember that Botox injections and dermal fillers aren’t the same things. Secondly, people who experienced these rare side effects reported that symptoms diminished quickly. Further, the temporary swelling didn’t cause any long-term health complications. For these reasons, the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons states that people who’ve received dermal fillers shouldn’t be discouraged from getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
