A member asked:
Is it normal to have a rash 1 day after a mmr shot for a five year old?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: A small percentage of children develop rash after getting MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, but in 7-10 days.

Yes: Since the viruses in the MMR are weakened but live viruses, they can cause a rash. Rarely is there fever or any illness. If you're worried, call your doctor or nurse.
