Delayed Vaccine Fever?

[FaeryCatx]

My daughter had her 18 month vaccinations on Thursday (2 days ago). Every other vaccine she’s had she always gets a fever in a couple hours which is almost gone by the next day.

This time she had no fever, I was so happy! But starting yesterday she felt quite warm and today she does have a high temperature and has runny poo as well.

Could it be a delayed reaction to the vaccine or could she just have caught an illness?
She’s having the other symptoms the doctors warned could happen after the vaccine - feeling more tired, not eating as much as usual… but I’ve never experienced it happening two days after the vaccination. Is this normal? Has it happened to anyone else?

In general she is still doing well, she was getting me to dance with her all morning. She does seem a bit more irritable though.

I know it says on the NHS website that diarrhoea can be a less common side effect of the vaccine - it would just make me feel better to know this has happened to another mum. I really hope she’s not getting ill as her last gastro illness was so scary.

Thank you, if you reply!

Noone could really tell you for sure.

But hope its the vaccine & she feels better in the morning

I think the MMR can give fever a couple of days later. Can't remember what the current 18month ones are as mine didn't have any then. I think it's the measles that does that, if I remember rightly.

Unfortunately I think she’s just caught a bug at the same time as she’s started vomiting today, it’s probably just a coincidence that it happened around the time of her vaccination. Although I can’t know for sure! I’ll speak to the doctors about it tomorrow when they’re open.

They said they recently changed it so they have them at 18 months now, and they now include a chicken pox vaccination.
Honestly any changes worry me as I prefer things that have been established for a long, it makes me even more anxious that it’s a newly implemented change. 🥲

The UK is years behind multiple other countries introducing the chickenpox vaccine, if that helps.

My 18 month old had her jabs just over a week ago. As I understand it, immunity for the different vaccines takes varying amounts of time to kick in, so fevers anytime in the the three weeks after the jabs is normal.
