There is absolutely a connection. Many vaccines contain egg; egg is one of the number one causes on eczema in babies. Also, vaccines can also overload the immune system, causing the body to start reacting to otherwise safe things (food). If the LO had a compromised immune system to start with (already had eczema and/or food allergies), vaccines can cause significantly more damage.

: If you look up in the "resources" sticky of this thread, you can find a lot about healing (gut-healing, specifically, since the gut is the center of the immune system). You might want to start doing things to heal your gut, since you are nursing, in addition to removing offending foods. There are a couple threads in "resources" about elimination diets, too.
I'm not sure where you land on vaccines, but I'd really consider not getting any more until you can sort out the situation (if ever. I'm personally a delayed-vaxer, though my allergic kids have not been vaxed yet. Many here do not vax at all).
