Herpes infections may be a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine, experts have revealed.
Scientists in Israel identified six cases in a new study of patients developing a skin rash known as herpes zoster after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, according to a study in the Rheumatology journal.

This can include a prolonged burning sensation on the skin even after the rash disappears.
