hi, i am looking for some advice please. Robyn had her booster jags exactly 2 weeks ago for mmr, dtp and hib. I cant remember what the nurse said about the side effects. Today Robyn has had a runny nose, cough, sore throat, temperature, sore arms and legs and general listlessness. Could this be a side effect of the jabs or maybe a bug? advice most welcome, thanks xx

I think (but could be wrong) that side effects happen up to 48hrs after jabs, if she's listless I'd get her to drs babe or give them a call & ask to speak to a dr, I don't bother with nhs direct coz always find them useless but I ring my gp instead, they are more than happy to speak to you over the phone xx

I think with the MMR its up to 10 days for a reaction. Take her Drs tho to be sure, hope she is better soon xxx

I was told that the reaction to the MMR can take 1-2 weeks (sometimes even a bit longer) to show up. Freddie has his booster done a few months back as the docs here do the full immunisation at an earlier age. It is possible that´s what she has now, sounds like it at any rate, but I´d still call a doctor or bring her to one just to be sure.

hi, called the doc this morning and got the usual reply "probably a virus and give plenty fluids and calpol". She seems a wee bit better this morning so will keep an eye on her.
