German Measles (Rubella)? Take him to the gp perhaps. Rubella isn't serious but get him checked just in case.

Not sure cheesesarnie, some people say mmr not 100% effective. But I am not in the medical profession maybe ask your gp.

You can still get Rubella, even after MMR. It's a tiny risk, but it does happen. However, your GP may not diagnose Rubella even if it is - they don't like to do anything that suggests that any vaccination is less than perfect.
