He can get the vaccine. Follow all the instructions in the pamphlet. Touching the site of the injection and then touching eyes can cause blindness.

Rather than being a Small Pox shot, it would be Chicken Pox vaccine shot that you intend to ask about. Psoriasis, if inactive presently, will not cause any problem.

Best let the people at work know, so at least they'll know how to cope should anything happen to him. Consult a doctor, and follow the instructions, and it should be fine.

you can call your local health dept. or call your doctor so they can give you an educated answer. most of the people here are not trained to give medical advice. good luck.
