    My eldest three all came out in a rash a week after the vaccinations. I actually called the hospital and asked about it, because it did look like measles and I was already pg again at the time when the older two had it done and they said it was fine, that it can take a few days to a week to come out, so she may be fine now, but if she does come out in a rash it's fine and not contagious.

    Yeah it sure does freak you out if you aren't expecting it. The information I was then given was that it can take 7-10 days for any rash to appear. Would have been nice to get that to start with.

    None of my four kids ever had any reaction to any of their needles...not every baby has a reaction.

    DD has hers on Wednesday. Thanks for the thread

    Will it matter if she is just getting over a cold?

    Other than a slight fever and a little crankiness for about 48 hours my twins had no other side effects from their 12 month needles.
