Hi,
I think your sister should consult with a dermatologist as soon as possible. or should go to the ER. The rash could be due to the vaccine or possible shingles outbreak.
Apply Calamine lotion locally, while you send her to ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
