Some basics: About 5-15% of kids given the MMR & V will have fever 39.4c or higher 6-12 days after the vaccine. It is not unexpected or particularly worrisome as it indicated a reaction by the immune system. Any fever that occurs prior to this interval may represent an illness to which the child was exposed that has finally emerged. I would handle the fever with supportive care & report the reaction to her doc

Vaccine reaction: German measles is fairly benign and only moderately contagious. Your sister is wrong; fever is common after the MMR, which can also have many other side effects.See https://tinyurl.com/y8p638hu and https://tinyurl.com/y6nl6p35 Your daughter is now infected with 4 live viruses from these vaccines but should handle it. I advise not giving medicine to lower her fever as fever helps fight infections.
