Is It Normal To Break Out With Red Spots On The Chest And Stomach After A Smallpox Vaccination Shot?

I got a smallpox vaccination a little over a week ago and I woke up this morning and noticed that overnight it looks like I broke out with red spots (I’m assuming acne because I used to get it all the time) all over my chest and stomach. Is this normal?

Hi,

It may be an allergic reaction. Generally, it will settle by itself without treatment. If symptoms persist, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
