Chicken Pox after 18 mo injections.

[Jaycee]

Did you get any literature beforehand to say what to expect?

I'm not sure, DS2 is having his tomorrow.

I did and its says between 5 and 26 days after they can get spots. Dunno if its just bites or not!

[*Efjay*]

hmmmm I would think its just bites. Keep an eye on him though.

[Jaycee]

I think it might be just bites as well. Keep an eye on him incase he gets more.

What does it say to do if he comes out in spots?

[Jakabella]

I just got off the phone to Nurse on call and she thinks its just a reaction to the needle but not acctually CP - but I need to just watch him and make sure no new spots!

One of my twins had a reaction to the measles injection at 12mths, so when he had the chicken pox one 2 weeks ago I was waiting for the spots to come out. So far nothing as yet...

I know with the measles one in about 3% of cases a child will get the rash without actually being contagious (even though it is a live vaccine), but not too sure out Chicken Pox as the infectious part is when the spots start to 'scab;. Fingers crossed it is just a mild reaction and not Chicken Pox.
