Reaction to MMR jab

Ashleigh had her 15 mth imms last Tuesday and over the last couple of days has had high temps, bit grizzly and slight rash at the top of her neck in her hairline. I'm assuming that it is a reaction to the MMR injection as these are all listed as side affects. She also has a slight runny nose aswell which I'm not sure is related. Anyway I'm not overly concerned but just wondered if any other kiddies had a reaction and how long it carried on for?

I was given the standard handout that had all the reaction information and with rubella there is a fever 12hrs after immunizations which can last for up to a day. Then there is only the measles reaction which can arrive anywhere from 5-12 days after injection, it comes with a fever and a rash.
Olivia had a slight reaction to the rubella. And no rash but a fever and general off feeling nearly 2 weeks later for the measles imm. The rash is hugely common though.

They split the jabs into 2 injections, one in the arm and one in the thigh. I think the one in the arm is Rubella and the one in the thigh is measles and mumps. I am sure if you rang the O800 IMMUNISE line, the could answer any questions you have about splitting them up.

Oliver had a temp for a few days after his 15 month jabs, though I actually think it was a reaction to the Hib jab rather than MMR as he didn't have a rash, but the injection site on his leg was very red, hot and swollen.

In the end we took him to the doctor because it just seemed to be getting worse and found he also had a very red throat and swollen tonsils! Ended up on antibiotics which cleared it up after a couple of days - and then I got my happy boy back
