Allergic reaction and vaccination

I am a women age 28,sometimes I have some pinkish/red spots or bumps appear on skin, which I don’t know why, although I have eczema, but few doctors I consulted told me it’s just a type of allergic. I also have asthma, Gerd and I am wondering with this condition is it suitable to sign up for vaccination?
