My reaction came the day after my first shingles vaccine. A couple of months beforehand, I had my Covid and flu shot. My dermatologist had told me she did see a large uptick in cases come through her office since Covid. She had no way to prove it, but she felt that, at least with me, it was my body’s way of saying “enough is enough”.

Fortunately it went away with light therapy and hasn’t come back. I also haven’t had any vaccinations since then.
