Did all your kids get fever after MMR vaccination?

[buds]

Mine did.

Hi Buds, did ur kid get fever after the second MMR shot?


My gal had a really high fever after the first MMR shot. She just got her 2nd shot and I am anxiously waiting to see if the fever will come on.

Second shot? Hmm.. i may have remembered wrongly cos i thought it was only one shot. :scratchhead:


Yes, they reacted to the MMR jab with really high fever (for both my girls).
Fully came down on the 4th or 5th day that week. Poor babies.

Is yours feeling better now?

Now the 2nd shot of MMR has been brought forward. The child used to receive the 2nd shot when they enter pri 1, now is done at 15 - 18 mths.

No, applicable to all kids. For those who miss, School Heath will still check at Pri 1 and give the necessary shot at Pri 1.
Otherwise for all kids who have not entered pri school and not given 2nd shot of MMR can go to any polyclinics to get the shot.

my fren told me now chicken pox is in 4in1 jab… any idea?

[janet88]

Chickenpox comes in 2 doses for adults…1 dose for kids.

This virus is going around…do stay away from crowded places if possible. Some selfish parents do bring their kids out despite the contagious nature of chickenpox.
