MMR related rash?

DD had her second MMR shot on Monday. Today I notced several small red spots on her skin - one on her scalp, a few on her back, one on an arm etc.

I know one side-effect of MMR is a rash, but I thought a rash was more 'joined up' spots IYSWIM.

Could this be a rash? I would say it looks like chicken pox tbh. Opinions welcome. She's not unwell with it.

hi sorry to bump an old thread, but if the OP sees this, did it end up being chicken pox? Very same situation with 12-month old: MMR on a Monday and this morning I noticed red patches/spots on her legs. They've since calmed down but now she has a few on the back of her neck. This morning they almost looked like tiny insect bites. So I'm guessing it's probably unrelated to MMR?
