How is contact dermatitis defined? Can a person be vaccinated if he has a history of contact dermatitis, but not an active condition?
A person with a history of contact dermatitis can be vaccinated, but a person with an active case cannot be vaccinated. Contact dermatitis is usually an acute condition that resolves once exposure to the skin irritant ends. A person who truly has this condition, as diagnosed by a physician, can be vaccinated once the skin has healed. A history of contact dermatitis, without active disease, is not a contraindication to vaccination.
