    Oh crap :-( That is terrible and it should have been explained to you as a possible side effect. Can you get some sort of cream from the health shop or chemist that may help ease the rash and help settle the itchy and soreness? Don't worry about people jumping to conclusions, if you have been advised he is safe to take out and you need to, then go out. You may need to take him into the chemist/health shop so they can take a look at how bad the rash is.

    Poor little guy!
    If they've been unwell, is it possible it's actually someting else? I'd take him to the doctor anyway.

    Rash has all but gone today and his face is all clear, so we are lucky there doesn't seem to have been any marking or scarring from the spots.

    Hopefully at the 18mth booster he won't get it again fx..

    Glad to hear it is all cleared up

    I would speak with your doctor about giving any more measles shots, given his reaction.
