Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Some degree of redness , itching loo systemic discomfort is common after pneumococcal vaccination.
Such a discomfort can last for upto four to six weeks after vaccination.
You might need to regularly take some oral antihistamines like benadryl or levocetrizine daily for one to two weeks to bring down the allergic process. The reaction will slowly settle with time.
