One year jabs - side effects??? Walking???

Hi Everyone,
My daughter had her one year old jabs about 3 weeks ago, prior to this she was pretty much walking. She would walk from one piece of furniture to the other without holding onto anything and she would get up off the floor and walk straight to me if I was close, the most she did was about 8 steps at a time. Since the jabs she refuses to walk, sometimes she will but only if she's holding onto something, she also used to stand unaided but now she will only do it for short amounts of time. She had lumps on her thighs when she first had the jabs but apparently that's normal, they've gone down a lot now. At first I thought her legs might just be a bit achy but it's been three weeks now and i'm starting to worry a little.
I'm thinking about calling the doctors but I don't know if i'm being a little dramatic.
Has anyone else had anything similar? She's 13 months now.
Thanks!

My daughter did this and it was nothing to do with jabs (had them late due to COVID). She was pretty much walking, exactly as you describe, and then completely stopped bothering for several weeks. It was almost as if she was like "yeah I could walk to mum, but I'm better and quicker at crawling so why bother". As soon as she was strong and steady enough for walking to be quicker and easier than crawling, she was off.

I know lots of kids who learnt ti walk but continued crawling until their walking was faster and more confident

@MolliciousIntent @MushroomQueen
Thank you both for replying, i'm probably worrying for no reason. It just seemed like a bit of a coincidence she stopped after the jabs, but yeah thank you!
