How will my child feel after getting immunization shots?
With most childhood vaccines it is not uncommon for a child to experience symptoms like a mild fever, and soreness and/or redness at the injection site. After getting a shot for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), some children may develop a measles-like rash all over their bodies within 7 – 10 days. This rash is not harmful or contagious and will disappear within a few days.
