Is it safe to get a COVID vaccine after Botox treatment?
The studies with the Moderna vaccine showed that out of 15,184 people vaccinated, three people showed swelling and redness a few days after their vaccination at the site where Botox was recently injected. This reaction also occurs in people who have not received a COVID vaccine.
No such swelling was reported with the other vaccines. There is no scientific basis for not vaccinating people who have received Botox and/or fillers. The vaccines can therefore be administered to people who have received Botox treatment.
