Javier went for his MMR (Mumps,Measles and Rubella) vaccination today at KKH. The usual check is normal. We highlighted to the PD that Javier tends to snore a lot. He advised us to monitor and likely due to the "structure" of his nose, which may outgrow when he gets older. He also checked Javier's lungs and it was clear. We then proceeded to the vaccination room.......
Other than the MMR jab, we intend to let Javier take the chicken pox jab as well. So we opted to perform both the jabs at the same time, one on the left thigh and one on the right. Of course Javier cried.....so poor thing....... However, I quickly distracted him with other things so he stopped after a while.
While I was tending to Javier, the nurse spoke to Tracy and told her that the side effect of MMR (if any) will start to appear 1-2 weeks after the shot. We were stunned because we will be flying off to Fukuoka (Japan) at that time. Possible side effects of MMR are fever and mild rashes. For severe cases (which is rare), side effects include seizure, low platelets count etc. The more I read the more I'm worried. Guess we'll just have to hope that Javier will not have any side effects.
