Pimples only appeared on my body after getting the diphtheria, tetanus vaccine shot. why?

No clear association: Unlikely that there is an association. Just because something happens after a vaccine does not mean the vaccine caused it. Likely just a timing coincidence. Acne is not just an adolescent phenomenon. It can occur at any time in someone's life.
