Yes , it certainly is!

If a drop of liquid bromine gets on your skin, it will immediately form an ulcer that will not heal, will spread, and requires urgent medical attention. Bromine vapour is also extremely hazardous!

That is the answer for the simple substance elemental dibromine. The element bromine, as expressed in bromide salts, is somewhat more controversial. The mainstream consensus is that there is a certain level -- a very low level -- below which it is harmless, and possibly even essential. The alternative view is that any level of bromide at all is harmful. Certainly it is quite toxic at medium to high levels.
