Abstract

As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads worldwide, various vaccines are being developed against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These vaccines had to be developed in a relatively short period; therefore, they had to be manufactured using a method different from that of conventional vaccines. In addition, many people were vaccinated in a short period, and various side effects related to vaccination have been reported. In this article, we describe the injection site reactions and some unique skin reactions associated with COVID-19 vaccination, such as drug eruptions, bullous lesions, and foreign body reactions, with their possible causes.
