1 year old vaccinations - side effects?

My son just turned 1 and had his 1 year vaccination last Wednesday. That day he was whinging on-off most of the day, had paracetamol that day and the day after as recommended by the nurse and has been fine since. Started having cows milk on Friday and was a bit constipated for 3-4 days (I made another topic about that). Yesterday (6 days after the vaccination) he was whinging again throughout the day but had all his meals, today he has only had his breakfast and one bottle of milk in the morning and slept 2 hours from 9-11am then woke up and was crying a lot/whinging/couldn’t really settle didn’t want yo eat anything or have milk. Managed to get some Calpol down him and he fell asleep shortly after, has beeen asleep for 2 hours now.

Could this be a side effect of the vaccination a week after?

I think a week is too long ago and it’s likely a new thing.

If it's the MMR jab then a reaction can occur a week or so after the jab.

Yes could very well be. The side effects from the measles bit are at 7 to 11 days afterwards. Both of mine had a fever about a week later.

After the MMR I think day 6 to 10 is where the reaction peaks. My daughter was the same and was very tired, grumpy and off her food for a few days she also came out in a rash. It was a lot worse than with her other jabs x

He had 4 vaccinations and one of them was the MMR vaccination.

Thanks for the replies. He had no side effects after his week 8, 12 and 16 vaccinations so I’m a bit worried now.

How many days did it take to settle? Do you just continue with paracetamol for a couple of days?

Yeah is the MMR one that causes the reaction. The others are just top ups of what they have already had I think. It's fairly common, I called the HV and she said not to worry just check temp and that they are having fluids etc x

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 31/05/2023 14:35

I would say my daughter was up and down with it but it lasted around 3/4 days. However she was off her food for a good week or so but was ok in herself. It definitely wasn't another illness as she had no cough / cold etc x

FlounderingFruitcake · 31/05/2023 15:46

It was a single night of fever for mine. Gave nurofen, early night and they were fine the next day.

ZuliKyanLarsFoz · 31/05/2023 15:48

MMR causes reactions about a week later.

I'm so so sorry to hear about your daughter. The information you’ve given is invaluable. I’m trying to find your website but it doesn’t seem to work for some reason. Would you be able to share it here please, I’d love to have a read.

AlisDad · 21/12/2023 04:51

The website is now active again (thank you for letting me know, I emailed the Host!)

Given the long time we spent in hospital from admission (Nov 2017-March 2018) I have presented my concerns in a diarised format; day by day, month by month, so yes it is quite lengthy, about 4-6 hours of reading, videos and medical notes.

I kept an accurate diary of events during the stay in hospital, which conflicts significantly with events as recorded by the Neurologists. Frustrations from attempts to submit my perspective to any of the authoritative bodies in Australia have either been completely ignored, or equally, lame excuses to discredit my version of events. Ideally this is best read in the month order, followed by Hospital Responses and then false misdiagnosis, & finally Communications. There are several links and drop downs which offer insight to the progress and relation to the illness

It is here I have highlighted key quotes in the Hospital Notes, the Doctors, the validity of testing equipment and the associated medical papers on that topic, the expectations and outcomes from the different medications. I have also included videos of Alina prior to admission to dispel any concerns that she had a prior retardation, physical or mental disability (which seems to be the implication of the diagnosis).

Since the advent of Covid, or more precisely the acceptance of “long Covid”, it now seems Medical Professionals are more willing to entertain that viruses do have ‘long” or chronic variations, whereas prior to this, I understand from literature and after numerous visits to Alinas GP, that it was believed viruses were self resolving. I have researched and personally experienced that it is not just Covid that has a long version, but also Enteroviruses
I have reviewed the overlap between Chronic EV71 and Chronic Covid, and there is indeed a common presentation in clinical symptoms as well as a significant overlapping error in diagnostic equipment

So how does this relate to MMR? it explains that a pre-existing viral condition (currently unknown to Doctors, aka auto-immune diseases) coupled with cross immunity causes vaccine injury, where the virus can nest in sites such as the central immune system (nerves), brain, thyroid, pancreas or eye

You may have personal experience with this, with something like Bells Palsy, or Chronic Pelvic Pain. Maybe even diabetes or Hashimotos. A series of life long, or difficult to resolve repeating illnesses that are triggered by stress/diet or a pathogen (inc. vaccination response).

Do let me know your thoughts on presentation, or how I can improve the explanation

many thanks

Thanks so much for your swift response! I will indeed have a look into it. Your work is invaluable to any parent who has young children trying to find out more before vaccinating.
