MRSA: Community acquired mrsa(methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) often causes skin and soft tissue infection, e.g., boil, in children. Extra attention on skin hygiene is all needed.

Had not has: You acquire, treat and get rid of MRSA like any other temporary infection. You do not carry it for life like hiv. The majority of invasive staph germs out there in public are now MRSA so anyone can get it when conditions are right. Monitor your kids as you always do. Your kid does not carry a dread disease.
