Abstract
Acute generalized pustular psoriasis (AGPP) is a rare but potentially life-threatening variant of psoriasis vulgaris, with many possible triggers, including medications, illness, and pregnancy.1 Here, we describe, to our knowledge, the first reported case of AGPP following the COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine.
