Cutaneous eruptions after a vaccine is not considered dangerous
Newresearch Posted this week in theJournal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that the delayed skin responses to the vaccine, which may occur from one to eight days after injection, are not dangerous. They occur most often after the first dose of the vaccine but do not prevent people from completing their vaccination.
"People can have full-body skin rashes, and this can be surprising and a little scary, but these patients were extremely well, retrieved and were able to go back and have their second dose," said the author of the Study, Dr. Esther Freeman, Director of Global Health Dermatology at Massachusetts GENERAL Hospital, United States today.

"People can feel reassured to get the second dose"
"Covid arm" is different from a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine, such as anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal swelling of the respiratory tract. This usually happens in a few minutes of the injection, which is why the CDC has advised everyone to wait 15 to 30 minutes after getting the vaccine before leaving the injection site.
But skin rashes that start later do not mean a serious problem. "For people whose rashes began four hours or more after getting the vaccine, zero per cent of them continued to obtain anaphylaxis or any other serious reaction," Freeman said. "Zero is a nice number."
According to the study, most people who lived "Covid arm" did not refuse him after their second shot. In those who did it, it was usually less severe and resolved within three to six days.
"People can feel reassured to get the second dose of their vaccine," Freeman said, Senior Researcher for the International Register of Dermatology Covid-19. "Even if you have a rather impressive rash after the vaccine, as long as it has not started in the four hours of vaccination, you should feel comfortable getting the second dose."
