Cutaneous vaccination reactions after COVID vaccination are potential symptoms of the skin after vaccination with COVID vaccines. Different phenotypes emerge, which are probably associated with different immune reactions with different effector cells. Current knowledge of the triggering mechanisms and their immunological pathomechanisms is still fragmentary. The organ lends itself to further exploration. The skin is an immunosensitive organ, frequently involved in vaccination reactions, already well studied and easily accessible to clinical observation and laboratory testing. It is virtually the organ in which expected (desired) and unexpected (undesired/pathogenic) local or systemic vaccination reactions are focused like a burning glass. The expected vaccination reactions as an expression of the immune system's desired reaction to the vaccine usually subside completely after a few days.

Information on the type and frequency of ADRs can be found in the product information for the respective vaccine.
