Poorly since 1 year vaccines

My boy had his 1 year vaccinations on Thursday 11/1 and since then he's hardly been eating, unsettled, upset tummy, lethargic, drinking some milk and water though. It's been 4 days now when will he get better? Had him checked and they said he's got a virus but I'm not convinced. Anyone experienced problems?

The 1 year vaccines can have effects lasting up to 3 weeks, they tell you this at the appointment usually. I wouldn't worry personally, treat as you would any illness and I'm sure it'll pass in a few days

The MMR leaflet sets out when the side effects kick in. Here's a link to the PDF: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/mmr-vaccine/

It actually sounds a little soon for it to be the vaccine affecting him (although did he have the 6 in 1 booster too?) so maybe just unlucky to pick up a virus at the same time. Just treat as you would anything else.

They did say that in 6-10 days may see a rash Loss of appetite etc but not what I'm experiencing maybe he has a virus after all 🤷‍♀️

No 6 in 1 vaccine this time just mmr men b and men c I believe. Maybe had a virus then. Thankyou
