Chicken pox or something else??

My daughter has had these spots on her legs since last week. She has about 5 in total.

Took her to the pharmacy and they think chickenpox however she's not itching them, she's totally fine in herself and they're not in the typical location for chicken pox?

She's had the first dose of the chickenpox vaccine (due the next dose in a few weeks).

I've kept her off nursery but now I'm overthinking it...Is this mild chickenpox or something else???

You can get a few spots after getting the vaccine sometimes. The vaccine is a weakened version of the virus so children especially can get a few spots, often around the area the vaccine was given but can be elsewhere on the body too.

Might be molloscum especially if she’s been sharing paddling pools/water activities with other kids in the hot weather
