While researchers have reported cases of vitiligo developing after viral infections, including COVID-19 infection itself, the search results don't specifically address any correlation between COVID-19 vaccines and vitiligo onset.

If you're concerned about how vaccines might affect your vitiligo, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can help evaluate your individual situation and provide personalized medical advice. It's worth noting that having vitiligo itself does not make you more susceptible to infections. Your immune system generally works fine - in fact, with vitiligo, it's actually working a bit too actively against your own pigment cells.
