Sumario:Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition with a chronic relapsing course that can negatively impact a patient's quality of life. Various triggering factors can cause the flare-up of psoriasis, which also include vaccination. The most common vaccine associated with this is influenza. In this global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emergency authorization for mass vaccination has been adopted by many countries in the world. Psoriasis flare has been reported after the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and CoronaVac vaccine. Currently, both the virus-causing disease and the vaccines are still being studied owing to their dynamicity. We report a case of a 21-year-old gentleman with chronic plaque psoriasis of three years, who developed generalized pustular psoriasis eruption after administration of the first dose of COVAXIN. To the currently available literature, this was the first case of this complication associated with COVAXIN.
