Everydayhealth.com discussed a common question people with Eczema ask, and if they will be able to get the Covid-19 Vaccine.

According to the National Eczema Association, COVID-19 does not increase the risk of life-threatening complications for people with eczema.  And it is worth getting a vaccine wherever you are within the US, as these vaccines are free to everyone living in the United States, regardless of their immigration status and whether or not they have health insurance, according to the CDC.
