In late 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first reported in Wuhan, China, triggered by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), swiftly spread worldwide and was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. An enormous number of people have been infected, resulting in morbidity and mortality. To reduce COVID-19 aggravation within Japan, there was a need to increase vaccination coverage; accordingly, the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccine was approved on February 14, 2021, followed by the mRNA-1273 (Moderna/Takeda) and ChAdOx1-S (AstraZeneca) vaccines on May 21, 2021, and NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax/Takeda) on April 19, 2022.

Although vaccines were effective in most cases at protecting people from developing serious symptoms and being hospitalized, some people showed cutaneous adverse events (AEs). While a considerable amount of time has passed since the first worldwide vaccination effort, Japan has yet to establish a national database of cutaneous AEs in vaccinated people that can be actively monitored. Cutaneous reactions following COVID-19 vaccination in Japanese people have been described in single case reports as well as in a few small case series and reviews; however, these reports are insufficient to understand cutaneous AEs. As single-center case series with non-selected patients are lacking, we aimed to analyze patients with cutaneous AEs after COVID-19 vaccination in our hospital and review previous studies of cutaneous AEs. To our knowledge, this is the largest long-term single-center study including booster vaccination doses performed in a department of dermatology at a public hospital in Japan.
This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Kagoshima City Hospital, Kagoshima, Japan (No 2021-47). A case series analysis was conducted at our hospital, and all patients with skin manifestations within 30 days or less following the COVID-19 vaccination were enrolled. All patients included in our study were diagnosed based on clinical and/or histopathological evaluations, and all other possible differential diagnoses were excluded. Next, we extracted cutaneous AEs induced by COVID-19 vaccines reported to the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare,3 categorized them, and counted the number of cases. Finally, we performed a literature review by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, and Ichushi Web Library databases for articles about Japanese cases of cutaneous manifestations after COVID-19 vaccination between April 2021 and March 2023 written in English or Japanese. We considered cases or studies describing patients with new-onset or pre-existing skin disease following COVID-19 vaccination eligibility and excluded studies with unknown vaccine types and insufficient diagnoses.
Results are expressed as mean SD. Comparisons between the two groups were performed using Welch s t-tests. Differences with p 0.05 were considered significant.
