My 3 year old had her pre school booster injections 6 days ago and has been poorly ever since. She's now got spots come up randomly, I've looked online and as per can't find a definitive answer. Is this common?

Could be a side effect of the MMR vaccine as you can get a rash after that one

Yes, likely the MMR as it is live, different parts of the MMR kick in at different times and some children do get a rash.
You should have been told/warned of this at the time. I'll see if I can find the leaflet I give parents when I give it...

Thanks all, I did ring the doctor and the pharmacist and they said to use piriton.
Bless her she looks rough!

Hmm starting to worry it's chickenpox now but we haven't seen anyone 😳she's got spots just on her face, how would I know? I've got three kids and none have had it. I'm guessing a doctor wouldn't see her?
Sorry for the questions but obviously I'm hoping she's not got something contagious and it's just a reaction
