Viral exanthem: This could be a viral rash, but you can't discount other possible causes exanthems can be caused by toxins or drugs, microorganisms, or can result from autoimmune disease. It could be related to the flu shot, but not necessarily. A visit to the medical doctor could be warranted here.

Unsure: Viral Exanthem? I haven't seen generalized rash described as a side effect of the flu shot ? These lesions need to be visualized & a history needs to be obtained in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
