Its VERY common for kids to have diarrhea, irritability and other symptoms after vaccinations.

For those reasons I exclude for 48 hours after. All my kids get their vaccines on Fridays or when mom/dad have the following 2 days off.

If he has diarrhea, send him home. Exclusionary policies have nothing to do with contagiousness and everything to do with sanitation.

Diarrhea caused by illness or as side effects to immunizations is still a sanitary issue. I'd him send home.

His vaccine was 2 weeks ago he broke out in a rash from head to toe yesterday and diarrhea once yesterday and now today and extremely fussy.

In that case, I would NOT contribute any of his current symptoms to his MMR.

He's sick.

Send him home.

My daughter reacted to her vaccines and it developed within a half an hour and we had to rush her back to the Dr. This sounds like something else entirely. Rash and diarrhea sounds like a virus to me.

Found out they can react after vaccine as long as 26 days later. I feel bad for him, but no chance of her leaving school to come get him, especially after she took him to the dr. Yesterday. He's resting now, and ate really good. He's just miserable and wants mom.. It's sad. No way would I have left my son in the condition, even if he wasn't considered contagious.

Where did you get this information and why didn't a pediatrician know?

The pediatrician did know, then I confirmed it from the cdc website.

I haven't had a dck have a reaction to immunizations in years. But before kids got so many, parents were always told that the mmr reaction comes 10 days after the shot. Have no clue if that is still true or if they might have refined some immunizations since then.

Why is it my problem that she won't leave school? I guess cause no one else will get him and I just feel bad for the little guy. This is my first time dealing with a vaccine reaction. So I was just looking to see if anyone else had dealt with it.

Oh please don't think I was being harsh towards you!
I was immediately angry that you felt you had no choice but to keep him because mom wouldnt come get him.

It's okay to feel bad for him but you have to put it into perspective....he doesnt' feel well and he wants his mama. He should have that right.....and mom shouldnt be allowed to say no.

She can bring him to a friend or relatives and go to school anyways so you can't force her to care for her child but her refusal to come get him shouldnt be something you HAVE to deal with.

If you don't mind, that's okay too but understand that she (dcm) will more than likely feel you should never mind ever then since you didn't mind this time...kwim?

:hug:

oh ok! I was confused by your post. I don't think any of my DCK have reacted. It seems crazy to me that they could have a reaction that far out.

I would just handle the symptoms and exclude for diarrhea for 24 hours after last bout. Why is there no one else to get him? Do they have any backup care?
