Actually, considering the general vaccination rates, the incidence of serious skin reactions (e.g . angioedema, anaphylaxis, StevensJohnson syndrome) is very low but vaccine-associated local cutaneous reactions such as erythema, edema, tenderness and pain at the injection sites are one of the most common complications of vaccines. Furthermore, a wide variety of specific or non-specific localized or generalized cutaneous adverse effects (e.g. lichenoid eruption, granuloma annulare, pseudolymphoma, erythema nodosum, erythema multiforme, Gianotti-Crosti syndrome, urticaria, lupus erythematosus, bullous pemphigoid, purpura) have been reported in the literature related with commonly used anti-infective vaccines. In this chapter, these adverse cutaneous reactions potentially associated with anti-infective vaccines were summarized with a comprehensive literature review.
