Samllpox vax and excema?

[PaulaJoAnne]

Does anyone know of this? I am curious, because I deal with excema, and wonder if there is any possible concrete conection, or if its just anecdotal?

I thought I had something in my favorites with respect to eczema and small pox. Seems a dad got the vaccine in the army and then his child got some sort of eczema from the vaccine shedding....I am not sure though and can't find it.

Here is a lot about small pox and I am sure it would be covered by this site -

It is dangerous to receive the smallpox vaccine if you have eczema. It is also dangerous to be exposed to the vaccine if you have eczema.

My dh is in the Army, and has a permanent exemption to the smallpox vaccine because of our daughter's eczema.
