What Causes Red Rashes All Over Body After Encephalitis Vaccination?
Question: why would a tick borne encephalitis vaccine give red rashes all over the body,and does this mean I can't continue taking the vaccine?
Brief Answer:
Test dose need to be done
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed acute urticaria.
It is an allergic condition.
Anything including vaccines, food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.
Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.
Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but are used in severe condition.
You may continue with the vaccine schedule, but a test dose must be given before injecting the next dose.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
