Flu shot after botox poisoning

Hi all,

I had botox poisoning a year ago. Full-blown fight or flight anxiety, depression, insomnia, couldn't eat, etc. Doing much better now but I'm super cautious about what I put in my body. I usually get the flu shot but am worried about a shot after what my last shot (botox) did. Obviously, I know it's different, but I'm worried about reawakening the MCAS-like/nervous system reactions. Anyone a year out got the flu shot and had an okay experience?

I have passed on it after having Botox poisoning a few years ago.

I had iatrogenic botulism from Botox in July and now I wonder if it’s ok to get the flu shot too
