If your child had reaction to first MMR vax did they also react to the 2nd dose?

Hello my son is due his 2nd dose of MMR. He had a fever and a rash ten days after his first dose ( which we knew could happen) but I’m hoping to hear from parents whose children reacted to the first dose if they also reacted to the 2nd?
we will definitely be giving the 2nd dose but we have a pretty big life event 12 days later which could be really difficult to navigate if he’s unwell. we can’t delay the vaccine either.
so just interested to hear from others experience with reactions to 2nd mmr dose.
thank you

Awful reaction to first at 1 year. No reaction to second one at 6 years (delayed due to first reaction)

Same as above. My oldest was awful after the 12 month jabs. Temp, rash, off her food for weeks. When she had the second lost at 3.5 she was absolutely fine x

With both she had a temperature for about 12h some time in the first 36h and then the measles rash at 10 days but the measles rash didn't make her feel unwell at all and she got on with her day to day life without issues.

She had a bad reaction to the menB at 4 months where she screamed inconsolably for 3 days. She did same when she had it at 1y but less intense. She had her 1y ones individually so they could identify which of the 4month jabs triggered the response. They think it was just a strong immune response to the vaccine and not that there was anything inherently wrong with the menB. She hasn't had this issue with any of the other vaccines

Mine developed a reactive arthritis after the first MMR, very painful joints (could barely bend his legs to change him) and he couldn’t bare any weight for about 72 hours after. The 2nd ones were fine. I don’t remember any reaction at all really.

My daughter had her 12 month vaccinations on 22/7, had tiny spots on the one leg near the vaccination but was fine and it went away. Around 11 days later she came out in a rash on her front chest and back, that went after 1-2 days. Then Monday this week (12/8) 3 weeks after the vaccinations she’s come out with a rash on her arms and legs, they look like little spots/bumps. Did this happen to anyone else? How long did it take to clear.

Just to say to anyone looking at this thread. My son who had a bad reaction to first MMR did not react to his second dose.
