is it because of chicken pox vaccine?Hi guys
my wife is taking her MMR and chcken pox vaccines as its required by her nursing school. she took the chicken pox shot about 3 weeks back. she also took the first MMR shot few days before the chicken pox shot and then she took the booster for her MMR few days after her chicken pox shot. all those three were in last one month or so, the booster for MMR being about 4-5 days back. yesterday she had fever at night, today also she has little fever although its not very high. moreover i noticed one peasize blister on her chest and 4-5 more small ones at her back, leg etc,. other than those i saw another 4-5reddish spots which looked like having a healed area at the center. she says those reddish areas are from last 6-7 days (which are itchy), although she saw the blisters from yesterday.
now my questions are:
1. is it chicken pox from the vaccine?
2. if yes, how long does it stay such in adults?
3. does she need to see a doctor and take medication?
please inform the above three things, I am lil anxious about this thing.

Varicella vaccine is a live vaccine so Yes! she would react with mild symptoms of chickenpox--fever & spots.
She is ok
I cannot understand though why they don't space out these things a bit better--why give them all so close to one another!
Just take good care of her and pamper her!

When I was given the chicken pox vaccine, I developed a fever as well, but it was the next day not days later. It's certainly possible that she's come down with a mild case due to the vaccine. It wouldn't hurt for her to go back to the doctor and get checked out, especially since she's had the MMR around the same time, just to make sure there isn't any kind of bad reaction happening.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
