My ds had his pneumo jab last monday morning. Had a 39 degrees plus fever by lunchtime. We controlled his temp with drugs until Thursday, when he seemed much happier and his temp was nearer normal. Then he got a rash on his tummy on Thurs, which is now all over his body front and back, but not on his limbs. I took him to our GP and she said it could be eczema?!! (Lots of little, flat, irregular edged blotches, mostly about the size of a porridge oat, some a little bigger) - he HAS got some patches of eczema, but they don't look like this!

It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all, but I justr wondered whether anyone else's dc has had this and could it be related to the vaccine?

I didn't think this was a rash causing vaccine - I could be wrong tho

I doubt it was the vaccine as the disease itself doesn't cause a rash.

my ds had a rash around the jab but not like that.
