Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems to be urticaria, which can happen after vaccination, mainly because of the adjuvants present in vaccines.
If i was your treating doctor i would have wanted you to apply a topical soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion frequently over the rashes.
An oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine syrup 5mg/5ml once or twice daily for 5-7 days would relieve the itch.
take care
regards
