BACKGROUND: The description of the skin reactions produced by the different vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 has focused on the symptoms reported by the general population. There are few studies with very different measurement methods focused on healthcare workers. METHODS: A longitudinal observational study was conducted on all the healthcare workers from the Hospital Universitario San Cecilio that received vaccination against COVID-19 with BNT162b2. The recruitment period was from December 2020 to September 2021. The recommended regimen was double, with a minimum interval of 21 days between doses. All dermatological reactions reported as adverse effects of the vaccine were evaluated by the Staff of the Dermatology Unit of our center. RESULTS: A total of 3969 healthcare workers of our center were followed. Only 0.7% of them reported dermatological adverse reactions. The most frequently reported reactions were morbilliform rash and COVID arm. In the multivariate analysis, the vaccination regimen (one dose) and the history of COVID-19 infection remained the main factors associated with the report of dermatological adverse reactions. CONCLUSION: The rate of dermatological adverse reactions after vaccination with BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) is extraordinarily low. No patient required hospitalization, which supports the safety of this vaccination in a population of healthcare workers.
