MMR reaction?

Hello.
My son had his MMR vaccine 10 days ago, is this a reaction to it? Or could it be something more so sinister, he has been so run down and unwell and I can’t help but always think the worst

It absolutely could be a post viral rash associated with the injection, my children both had this , however as he has been unwell I would get him checked out to be sure . Make sure he has no fever and it fades under a glass

Mine had this, ten days after the MMR exactly! we read on the NHS website that it's quite common with the measles bit of the jab. It took him a good few days to recover fully.

111 said nothing to worry about which is a relief! He’s been so run down, he has conjunctivitis and he’s teething. So just a combination of everything!

My daughter 15mth old
got really sick on the 4th day after the MMR vaccine high temps for 3 days irritable and miserable for 5 days straight now.
crying all day long really lethargic and now has developed the rash on her back and tummy exactly 7 days after having it.
has anyone else experienced this? And how long did these symptoms last?
I took her to the doctor and to the ED
Doc said it’s definitely from the vaccine and hospital said she must just have a virus.
im really worried how much longer will this last poor thing is so tiny only 9kgs
