Abstract
In a previous article, the skin reactions that can occur in conjunction with SARS-CoV-2 infection were considered. In this work, on the other hand, we will talk about the skin manifestations that can arise following vaccination against this virus.
Various trials have been performed that have demonstrated their effectiveness and the appearance of few and mild side effects. However, since the number of vaccinations was exorbitant, undesirable reactions of various types were detected over time, affecting approximately 1% of the vaccinated: as regards skin manifestations, the estimated incidence is 0.3%.
