This is what the red pinprick rash looks like.

Your pictures don't look too bad, I'd watch them though to make sure they don't get worse.

Hello, I don’t know I sent an email to my gp (it’s hard to get a proper appointment these days) with a description of the rash and asking if I should have the vaccine.

I got a very brief email back stating that I had no contraindications from my medical history and to get the jab

The risk was only one in a few million, the medical team were covered so I was good to get it 👍

I was ok though, still am
