COVID Vaccine Offers Health Boost For Kids With Eczema
KDH News, Nov. 10, 2025
A new UTMB study finds that children with eczema experience fewer infections and allergic complications if they’ve had the COVID vaccine. “Children with AD (atopic dermatitis) are also at higher risk for infections, including those affecting the skin and respiratory system,” said Tristan Nguyen, one of the authors of the study. “Our study suggests that COVID-19 vaccination not only protects against coronavirus but may also have broader health benefits for children with atopic dermatitis,” said UTMB’s Dr. Zhibo Yang.
