Mum didn't want to continue after the first one. I was flared and uncomfortable. She was bullied and cajoled and made to feel like a bad parent and hysterical mum for wanting to cease the shots. They persuaded her to do the next and bang: full blown eczema within a day.
When i say bullied and cajoled, I mean properly ganged up on by several nurses at the clinic, the doctor, and even a consultant from the hospital. I don't know why. Maybe they had targets.
My cousins meanwhile, who also had some baby eczema, weren't given the shots until they were better. Their doctor advised against.

Eczema is caused by a genetic predisposition, (among other things), and stress definitely makes it worse.
Which is what vaccinations are - stressors which induce an immune response. Your cousins doctor was quite right, imo.
Perhaps your doctors knew of an outbreak of a childhood disease in your area and at that time, and had received instructions to vaccinate everyone they could, to prevent it's spread.
The outbreak may have disappeared by the time your cousins saw the doctor.
Handling outbreaks of highly contagious diseases, is never perfect. Doctors can be damned if they do over-vaccinate, and definitely damned if they don't.
